NAPERVILLE, Ill., Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Elauwit, a
leading campus housing service provider, is deploying Tellabs'
Optical LAN (local area network) to deliver RF video and
ultra-high-speed Internet to college students in 8 student housing
projects across 8 states.
"College students expect great broadband data service,
particularly in student housing. Tellabs' Optical LAN enables us to
deliver the bandwidth students need today and tomorrow, simplify
our LAN deployments and lower overall LAN costs," said Taylor Jones, CTO at Elauwit. "Tellabs
Optical LAN, coupled with CORE Telecom's complementary solutions,
provides Elauwit much better value for money, compared with
conventional, copper-based LANs."
College Students Challenge Local Area Networks with Their
Demands
Because college students use many different devices to stream HD
video and data, their bandwidth demands pose a major challenge for
LANs. A recent study by Pew Internet found that more than 9 out of
10 college students are using broadband data services. More than 8
out of 10 students rely on multiple devices, connecting via cell
phones, laptops and iPods.
"To help college students succeed, ultra-high-speed data
services are key. But traditional copper-based LANs can't keep up
with growth in students' bandwidth demands," said Tom Ruvarac, Tellabs director-product
management. "That's why Tellabs provides a future-proof Optical LAN
solution that can easily scale up to handle traffic needs for
decades to come."
Tellabs Optical LAN is purpose-built for high-capacity,
high-performance LANs such as student housing networks. It
simplifies the underlying network infrastructure and operations,
getting the LAN's job done with fewer network elements by using
passive optical networking technology. Tellabs Optical LAN can save
up to 70% of the total cost of ownership, 80% of power requirements
and 90% of space needs, compared with a copper-based LAN.
System Integrator CORE Telecom Orchestrates Optical LAN
Deployments
To ensure smooth deployments for Elauwit, trusted Tellabs
partner, CORE Telecom Systems, coordinated all support and
logistics for the Optical LANs. CORE's expertise with complementary
solutions, from fiber cable and connection to video and power,
proved to be invaluable in providing Elauwit with an end to end
network solution.
"Our Elauwit deployments highlight the value that CORE Telecom
adds to each LAN we deploy," said Lyle
Frank, national sales director at CORE Telecom. "By enabling
video and Wi-Fi services through Tellabs' Optical LAN, we helped
Elauwit to reach its goal of meeting the college students'
increasing network demands today and well into the future."
Trade Show - Tellabs and CORE Telecom will discuss the
Elauwit deployments at the NMHC Student Housing Conference &
Exposition, Sept. 30 through Oct. 2
in New Orleans, at CORE Telecom's
booth #304.
