CTAR Corp Announces Passive Optical LAN is Changing Networks in Canada for Good(GlobeNewswire - Canada Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CTAR Corp announced today its first operational Canadian deployment of POL in the field of education. Passive Optical LAN (POL) is an innovative fibre-based networking solution that replaces bulky copper and network switches with Fiber Optic cables, Fibre Splitters and PON devices. POL is a cost- effective, innovative and effective replacement for traditional ethernet based networks. Sardis Secondary in Chilliwack has been operating their PON Network since March of 2013. Originally built in the 1990's, the Sardis facility had very little infrastructure in place to facilitate network requirements for today's technology and the latest learning innovations available. After some research and due diligence, the IT group at Sardis started with a trial deployment of POL and has since upgraded their entire facility with fibre optical infrastructure and POL components. "We are focused on providing our students with the best learning technologies available. POL allows us to be fiscally responsible but also to be forward thinking and stay current with technology for years, even decades to come," says Randy Jansen, Technology Foreman at SC33. "POL is an ideal fit for Government, Education and Healthcare facilities for both new projects and network upgrades. POL's use of fibre infrastructure provides not only cost benefits and space savings, but longevity of infrastructure and significant network operation benefits and power consumption savings," says Tina Gokstorp of CTAR Corp. CTAR is a leader in the Canadian PON industry and was pleased to partner with AXISTECH for this installation in Western Canada.
