APPLICATION NOTEHow Tellabs Is Revolutionizing Local Area Networkingwith New In-Wall ONTs with Ethernet ZonesA Revolution in Local Area Networking Is HereIT departments in enterprises across multiple industries, alongwith IT teams within governments, have embraced Optical LANtechnology. They welcome the advantages fiber-based Optical LANoffers over copper-based active Ethernet LAN, including greaterspeed and capacity, lower costs, lower energy consumption and asmaller footprint.To further these benefits, Tellabs designed a next-generation ONTthat will revolutionize LANs worldwide. The Tellabs® 100 SeriesMini ONT, designed for installation inside walls and within cubicleraceways, eliminates clutter now found on top of and underneathwork surfaces. By moving the ONT out of users’ sight and reach,Tellabs also eliminates inadvertent disconnections and potentialdamage from beverage spills, along with increasing networksecurity. In addition, the Tellabs 120 Mini ONT provides a clean,sleek aesthetic look to any office.The Tellabs 120 Mini ONT, like first-generation ONTs, providesstandards-based Gigabit Ethernet ports, including Power overEthernet, and integrates high-speed data, voice and video withina single fiber infrastructure. It provides the same wall-outletconnectivity with which active Ethernet users are familiar, andadds simplified and streamlined installation procedures, therebyreducing both CapEx and OpEx costs compared to other OpticalLANs or active Ethernet LANs. Costs associated with mounting andterminating components within the work environment are reducedor eliminated.In-Wall and Cubicle ApplicationsThe initial release of the Tellabs 120 Mini ONT includes an in-wallmodel and a model which fits into cubicle raceways. The Tellabs120W in-wall version has a very compact form factor with a built-infaceplate similar to a typical light switch, which enables the ONTto function as the actual outlet. Installers simply insert the ONT intothe walling using standard mounting hardware. The Tellabs 120Ccubicle version of the 120 Mini ONT fits into a cubicle racewayrunning the length of the cubicle wall segment. Whether locatedbeneath a cubicle wall flip-up lid, under the desk or mounted ina raceway, the Tellabs 120 Mini ONT fits wherever connectivity isneeded. Tellabs designed its form factor for easy deployment intostandard modular furniture systems.Both versions of the Tellabs 120 Mini ONT feature two Ethernetports and use the same deployment methodology as traditionalEthernet LANs. In other words, the wall or in-cubicle outlet providesthe same form of connectivity with which active Ethernet LAN usersare familiar. In addition, just as with active Ethernet, installers placethe terminating points of the equipment inside the wall and runTellabs 120 Mini ONTs have revolutionized local area networkingBEFORETellabs ® 120 Mini ONTAFTERTellabs 120 Mini ONTs deploy under the desk, eliminating the clutterproduced by other ONTsthe cabling back to the communications closet, and from there, tothe data center. The only difference in deployment methodologybetween the two solutions is that active Ethernet uses coppercabling, while Optical LANs benefit from the power, space, andcapital savings with a passive fiber infrastructure.In addition to maintaining the look and feel of familiar traditionalEthernet LAN connectivity, termination of the Tellabs 120 MiniONT at a wall outlet also simplifies network evolution. As 10G-PONemerges, organizations can upgrade their Optical LANs simply byupgrading the terminal electronics. Unlike traditional Ethernet LANswhere the cabling infrastructure must be replaced each time theEthernet switches increase link speed, Optical LANs will not requirefiber infrastructure upgrades or any work environment changes.See tellabs.com for more information about Tellabs Solutions

3 HOW TELLABS IS REVOLUTIONIZING LOCAL AREA NETWORKING WITH NEW IN-WALL ONTS WITH ETHERNET ZONESinnovations in intelligent protected distribution system (PDS) andfiber optic intrusion detection system (FOID) technologies.Based on a 1-rack unit (RU) device that integrates in line with thefiber, the system monitors the optical fibers for intrusion detection.If the transmission fiber is displaced beyond programmed and selflearnedthreshold levels, the resulting change in the reflected waveform triggers a reported alarm to both the local PON managementand remote monitoring systems and can be set to shut down theoptical link upon intrusion detection. Because the Tellabs 120 MiniONT terminates inside the wall outlet or cubicle raceway, it is notexposed to human movement in the same way as a desktop ONT.This helps organizations monitor their fiber infrastructures aroundthe clock, in real time, without false alarms.Extension ModulesThe Tellabs 100 Series Mini ONT supports extension modules thatprovide in-building WiFi, CATV, additional Gigabit Ethernet ports,telephone jacks, and ZigBee wireless connectivity. These interfacesextend the capability and scalability of Tellabs’ Optical LAN solutionsto meet the needs of a wide range of enterprise market applications.Showing the Way in Optical LAN SolutionsTellabs continues to work closely with its enterprise and federalgovernment customers to understand their LAN requirements anddevelop the first-to-market, cost-effective solutions they need.Among the industry-leading solutions first developed by Tellabs are:• First enterprise-specific optical line terminals (OLTs), featuringEthernet bridging and enterprise-grade security architecture• First Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) on both desktop andworkgroup terminal ONTs• First remote powering of ONTs from the communications closet,zone box and raised floor• First small-density OLT for lower-density enterprise deployments• First Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) certification of theTellabs Optical LAN solution for deployment within U.S. Departmentof Defense networks• First JTIC-tested type B PON protection• First assured services session Internet Protocol (AS-SIP) for protectedvoice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) deployments• First All-Secure PON, which offers the ultimate in Layer-1 security• First in-wall and in-cubicle ONTs• First optical distribution hub for Optical LANSummaryWhen enterprise organizations and government agencies are lookingfor Optical LAN Solutions that reduce CapEx/OpEx, deliver highbandwidth, provide high security and reliability and improve energyefficiency today and in the future, they look first to Tellabs.Next Step:Visit www.tellabs.com/solutions/opticallan to learn moreabout how Tellabs Optical LAN Solutions are solving enterprisenetwork challenges while significantly reducing CapEx andOpEx, power consumption,and space requirements.
