Eltek and our Americas Region President Allen Pitts named as one of the 2014 industry game changers. Published in June 2014, this is the third in a series of three interviews.
"Those who influence with knowledge and character rather than a big booming voice. Those who know their area of expertise like the back of their hands WHILE they constantly seek to learn and conquer new opportunities across the telecom industry. Game Changers are those who lead by example and walk their talk."
This is an application specialist certification covering optical LAN (OLAN) networks, cabling design and installation, which includes P2P and PON networks used in place of traditional LAN cabling based on traditional structured cabling standards for copper/fiber networks.
Don't waste time and money hiring consulting firms to compile white paper feasibility study reports. Same expenditure can create a construct-able OSP design complete with cost estimates making the business case.
Attenuation is
the reduction of signal strength or light power over the length of
the light-carrying medium. As the light signal travels down the fiber,
it losses power or attenuates.
