In broadband communication, nowadays the deployment of optical fiber network is increasingly applied to meet the needs of high-demand cloud applications and multimedia streaming. Optical fiber transmission has great advantages over the existing copper wire, because the optical fiber cable has much lower attenuation and interference.
​
Considering that fiber optics is relatively more expensive than existing copper or UTP cable and difficult to be widely deployed in a short period of time, Fiber Switches , Gigabit Media Converters, Industrial Ethernet Media Converters and GEPON are passive optical devices and alternatives available to efficiently deploy fiber connectivity network in addition to the fiber optic system usually employed by the core network such as in telecommunications, campuses and hospitals.
​
Comprehensive solution, from Edge to Core
​
Through decades of experience in IP networking and fiber communications, PLANET has developed a comprehensive fiber connectivity solution to help ISPs and telecoms rapidly build broadband services as well as fast connectivity to the edge (Access).
PLANET provides a wide range of fiber optic communication products, adapting to all types of working environments. PLANET provides fiber optic connectivity solutions in commercial and industrial products, for a stable network in a wide operating temperature range. In the Chilean miner rescue mission in 2010, PLANET's fiber optic connectivity solution was successful in helping miners trapped 624 meters underground maintain hope of survival through visual and voice communication with their families and rescuers.

Ethernet FTTx/Metro
To enhance fiber optic Ethernet technology with highly flexible, extensible and easy-to-install features, the data exchange speed of fiber optic Ethernet is up to 40Gbps and the distance of Gigabit fiber optic is up to 120km. PLANET provides many types of point-to-multipoint managed fiber switches and CPE, especially for Metro Ethernet applications.
The benefits of Metro Ethernet switches include not only professional Internet management technology such as dual-stack IPv6/IPv4, Q-in-Q VLAN, Multicast, QoS, security and high availability, but also up to 40Gbps optical Ethernet Internet architecture to meet the needs of high-bandwidth multimedia. PLANET Metro Ethernet Switch solution is the best choice for connecting enterprise, community and campus in metropolitan area to the core network for service providers.

Media Conversion​
​
Media conversion is a cost-effective solution for rapidly extending a fiber network without relying solely on fiber optics. It efficiently addresses the distance limitations between Ethernet and local networks.
​
With the feature-rich chassis provided by PLANET, at least 16 converters can easily expand fiber optic networks through simple plug-and-play installation. The wiring distance of the PLANET media converter chassis can be extended from 2 to 120 kilometers, with additional options available upon request.

Building an FTTH (Fiber to the Home) or FTTC (Fiber to the Curb) network solution for ISPs, the PLANET managed family of media converter chassis and FST/GST converters offer multiple options for FTTx deployment.
The Managed family is a managed Media Converter Center series that provides plug and play slots for various types of converters. Through the management interface, all converter status can be remotely controlled within the chassis from power on/off and port status/statistics, as well as advanced features such as redundant links.
Passive Optical Network (PON)
Passive Optical Network (PON) will be the most promising NGN (Next Generation Network) technology to meet the broad bandwidth demand of HDTV, IPTV, VoIP and multimedia broadband applications. PON technology is designed to support PMP (Point-to-Multipoint) applications and offers advantages of cost reduction by sharing equipment and fiber in the OCC (Operational Control Center), and easier maintenance compared to active equipment.
​
PLANET provides GEPON and GEPON ONU solutions offering competitive advantages such as:
​
-
Long Life Expectancy for Fiber Infrastructure.
-
Reduction of operating costs of active components
-
Supports distance between nodes up to 20KM
-
Easy Installation and Maintenance
-
Provides much more bandwidth
​
The PLANET GEPON OLT and GEPON ONU solution is perfect for VOICE/TELEPHONY/DATA (Triple Play) or IP surveillance applications. It provides Ultra-Fast Internet connections for IPTV, Internet Surfing, VoIP Phone calls and IP Surveillance, with the cost-saving benefits of adopting FTTx Point-to-Multipoint technology.
