Moto Expands PON Family

June 27, 2012 |

HORSHAM, Pa. -- Motorola Mobility continues to enhance the capabilities of its Passive Optical LAN solution with the introduction of the WT24004 (Workgroup Terminal). Leading the migration to the smart, simple and connected enterprise, Motorola’s WT24004 further reduces network complexity by consolidating Passive Optical LAN (POL) connectivity in applications with a high concentration of end users and IP-enabled devices, such as wireless access points, security badge readers and security cameras1.

Motorola’s WT24004 is a high-density rack-mounted modular workgroup terminal providing up to 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and is designed to support a full range of advanced data, IP voice and IP video services over a converged fiber-based LAN. The WT24004 also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) which is increasingly more important as many IP-enabled devices, such as wireless access points, are deployed in areas where local power is not readily available. With the addition of the WT24004 to its POL portfolio, Motorola continues to create value for the enterprise by further simplifying LAN deployment at a dramatically lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over traditional LAN architectures. Motorola’s POL and WT24004 suit the needs for most high-density-Ethernet deployment environments found in health care, financial services, campus, government agencies and military applications.

“As POL gains momentum in the enterprise networking market, new opportunities are emerging to extend the many benefits of this technology,” said Shaun Harker, Business Development Manager, Passive Optical LAN Product Team, SAIC. “While the majority of our customers require four port work group terminals directly at the desktop, the WT24004 serves as a ideal fit for those higher density requirements in labs, conference areas, and wherever above-ceiling devices need to be accommodated in larger numbers. As an early adopter of the WT24004 and a reseller of Motorola’s POL solution, SAIC recognizes the value of this high-density, modular workgroup terminal, and we look forward to offering it to our customers.”
