AROONA facilitates innovative digital solutions for universities
University of Rennes 1, France
The issue
The University of Rennes 1 would like to implement a Virtual Learning Environment in its facilities as well as a new computing center accessible from all buildings spread over 60 ha [148 acres].
The OM2 fiber link, between the core server and a laboratory building, is 457 meters long. Limited at 1 Gb/s, the link does not support sufficient bandwidth and requires an upgrade. However, the university is concerned about disrupting the students and staff and cannot afford a new fiber deployment.
The AROONA solution
Cailabs’ passive solution AROONA enables a retrofit of the university’s existing fiber link, satisfying its need for minimal disruption and the absence of construction work. This favorably differentiates AROONA from new fiber deployment.
The benefits of the solution
- 4 x 10 Gb/s throughput instead of being limited at 1 Gb/s
- Easy installation, no construction work necessary
- 3 times less expensive than new fiber deployment
