Association for Passive Optical LAN adds new members

NEW YORK, USA: The Association for Passive Optical LAN has welcomed new members into its fold. The new members include Qypsys, Vision Technologies, Communications Supply Corporation (CSC), The Siemon Company and Fiber Optic Association.

Corning, IBM, Leidos, TE Connectivity, Tellabs, Zhone and 3M initially formed the Association earlier in 2013. The association's mission is advocating for the education and global adoption of passive optical networks in the local area network (LAN) industry.

Today the Association is positioned well to add manufacturers, distributors, integrators, and consulting companies to join in the cause.

Dave Cunningham, president and chairman of the APOLAN, said: "Passive Optical LAN is one of the fastest-growing applications in fiber optics today and our Association membership is growing to match. Our new members represent education, logistics and integration core competency that are important to growing this association."
