AROONA serves factory network
Automotive factory, Canada
The issue
The customer would like to upgrade video surveillance networks in the guardhouses at the main site gates. This upgrade requires 10 Gb/s on each link to the main gates in order to support video data feed; however, existing links use OM1 multimode fibers, which are longer than 550 m [1800 ft]. As a result, these fibers do not support bit rates of more than a few hundred Mb/s.
The AROONA solution
Cailabs’ AROONA-STAR solution guarantees a capacity > 10 Gb/s (as opposed to switching to LRM transceivers as was initially tried by the customer). The short time it takes to install AROONA (less than 4 hours) allows for a minimally disruptive upgrade. Neither work nor traffic is interrupted in the factory. AROONA is therefore the more favorable solution compared to a new fiber deployment.
The benefits of the solution
- 10 Gb/s enabled, with an easy upgrade path to 100G using WDM
- 4 hours of installation to upgrade 2 multimode links rather than several days as is the case with a new fiber roll-out
- Neither the construction work nor the production line on-site is interrupted
