Simplify Networks with a Passive Optical LAN

As more technology is integrated into communication, collaboration and building operations, the complexity of traditional copper-based local area networks (LANs) becomes more intense.

Because of their ability to simplify network architecture, passive optical local area networks (“passive optical LANs” or “POLANs”) are an attractive alternative to traditional LANs. They’re point-to-multipoint networks that rely on FTTx architecture and protocols vs. switch-based Ethernet.

Leaving behind Ethernet cables, routers and switches, a passive optical LAN relies on singlemode fiber, passive optical splitters, optical line terminals (OLTs) and optical network terminals (ONTs). It shifts all network intelligence to an OLT and all device management to an ONT.

While a passive optical LAN may not make sense everywhere, there are certain environments that stand to benefit from the simplification and cost savings it can bring—not to mention the ability to meet the snowballing demand for dependable, high-quality connectivity.

In these types of situations, POLANs bring significant advantages:

1. Space savings
2. Preparation for digital transformation
3. Longer distances
4. Lower installation and maintenance costs
5. Less power consumption

Vantage Lighting Control Helps Hotel Verdant Achieve Sustainability

Hotel Verdant in Racine, Wisconsin, is using Vantage to achieve energy-efficient and elegant lighting control. Seeking LEED Gold certification, AV integrator Digital Living installed Vantage’s lighting control solution, which is integrated with occupancy and daylight sensors throughout the hotel’s public guest and admin spaces, to create a lighting experience centered around sustainability and luxury.

For the project, Digital Living President Shireesh Reddy relied on Vantage’s freedom of design and programming flexibility to fit the sustainability needs of Hotel Verdant’s lighting design. More than 90 motion detectors and 30 daylight sensors are tied into the Vantage system. Reddy leveraged Vantage’s ease of programming to enable the system to automate specific lighting sequences for the hotel that are based on occupancy, time of day, and/or the amount of natural light in the room. In the hallways and administrative offices, the motion sensors detect when someone is present and raise the lighting level; when no one is detected, they automatically dim, cutting down on the energy use. The hotel’s bar, Eave, takes advantage of Vantage’s astronomical clock, which is programmed to automate the bar’s lighting as the bar is opening. Before closing time, the system starts its power down sequence with the lights flashing. In the hotel’s lobby, which is surrounded by windows, the system’s daylight sensors automatically detect when there is a greater amount of sunlight in the room and adjust the lighting accordingly. In this way, Vantage provides both a more energy-efficient and human-centric lighting control experience. In addition, the system can be controlled manually from Vantage EasyTouch Glass keypads.

Universal Interference Filters

by Senior applications engineer Don Boomer

RF Venue is pleased to announce the newest additions to our family of bandpass interference filters. These filters greatly simplify picking the right filters for your geographic area since you no longer have to worry about matching frequency blocks to the proper filter. Basically, these are "one size fits all”.

The new 470-608MHz comfortably covers all conventional wireless mic frequencies in North America while the new 470-698MHz BPF is the proper choice for most of the rest of the world (especially as all the frequency rebalancing is completed over the next couple of years).

How RF Venue Interference Filters Work

Without bandpass filters the signals from literally every single radio transmitter on the planet penetrate your wireless mic antennas. Adding a pair of these filters to your A&B inputs of your distro system (regardless of brand) strips away frequencies you can’t use anyway from getting to your receivers, greatly reducing the workload on your wireless mic receivers.

Installation is easy … just plug in between your antenna(s) and the input to your distros. One pair covers all your receivers be it 2 or 200.

Installing these interference filters greatly reduces interference from 5g cell phones, video monitors, LED lighting, security radios and more. Typically the filters will typically reduce your RF noise floor by 4-6dB thereby increasing your dynamic range (which determines when dropouts start).

Given consumers’ heavy reliance on technology and network access, it’s easy for smart devices to quickly overtake the interior of a home or business.

Thanks to a new concealed mounting solution from WALL-SMART, the essential access points needed to provide the desired network coverage can finally go unnoticed, hidden completely within the ceiling surface yet still easily accessible and fully operational.

The new Universal Access Point Ceiling Mount from WALL-SMART creates a moisture-resistant, well-ventilated cavity in new and existing ceilings, a convenient hideaway for almost any brand of Wi-Fi device on the market.

The demand for this innovative solution came from the field – to have a solution that is both functional and visually pleasing. Users usually have to hide the APs in any available space, making maintenance and WI-FI network coverage difficult.

Like all WALL-SMART design-forward mounting solutions, the Universal Access Point Ceiling Mount provides a flush finish with the surrounding ceiling surface.

The exceptional design and build quality of the Universal Access Point Ceiling Mounts protects the residing equipment from loss, damage, and overheating, enables ease of use and ensures uncompromised Wi-Fi performance.

The Universal Access Point Mount comes in three sizes (S, M, L- see website for dimensions) to fit the widest possible range of devices. A fully flush new construction version and a retrofit version are available for easy installation in existing drywall.

The New Construction is paintable to fit the ceiling color selection, and the Retrofit has a matte white cover.

In addition to a cover, included with the Universal AP mount is a magnetically detachable backplate for ease of installation and service.

Thanks to this innovative mounting solution, residential and commercial integrators have greater installation flexibility—they can place technology where it works best without infringing on the design or architecture of the environment.
