Why you should ditch traditional networks and get Nokia POL

Traditional copper-based LANs require frequent upgrades to support today’s high-bandwidth demands, leading to costly investments in new switches and cabling. They’re often limited by capacity and speed. These networks struggle and limit operational growth.

The more effective alternative is a fibre-based network. They handle speeds well beyond 1Gbps. Fibre optic LANs offer higher bandwidth, longer reach, reduced latency, and better security.

By switching to fibre solutions like Nokia POL, organisations can avoid constant upgrades and updates, future-proofing their infrastructure, and significantly enhancing network performance.
