How to Quantify the Savings Generated by a Fully Optical Network

With easy installation, long reach, high scalability, and excellent bandwidth, fiber optics plays a key role in building an efficient data network. The fluidity in the transmission of different types of information—such as data, voice, and video—brings greater agility to business processes and becomes a key element for company growth.

Beyond the noticeable improvement in network performance, the 100% optical solution Laserway from Furukawa is considered future-proof and also delivers other benefits such as better bandwidth control and sustainability. The financial gain, however, comes mainly from significant cost reductions. See below:

1 – Because a single fiber can distribute information to multiple users, the infrastructure becomes significantly simplified. This leads to a reduction in occupied physical space, including fewer technical rooms, cable trays, and ducts.

2 – With fewer technical rooms required for the local network, there is also a reduced need for cooling and power supply systems. In addition, Laserway equipment has low energy consumption since it transmits data through an optical medium.

3 – The Laserway network brings significant reductions in capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational and maintenance costs (OPEX), ensuring continuous savings over the years of network usage.

Still unsure how much this solution could benefit your company?

Furukawa, the manufacturer of the Laserway solution, has developed a tool that calculates how and how much this technology can save businesses.

By entering data such as number of points, number of floors, horizontal cabling length, and time period for TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), it is possible to obtain an estimated percentage of savings.

The tool is intuitive and also provides comparative graphs between traditional copper networks and Laserway.
