(openPR) - NASHVILLE, TN—January 31, 2011— Perle Systems, a global provider of advanced Ethernet over fiber and secure device networking solutions, released a whitepaper series on avoiding common mistakes in fiber-optic network deployment. The whitepaper focuses on major problems that can occur when businesses rush to deploy a fiber-optic cabling infrastructure.

The networking landscape has changed, and businesses need to invest in high-performance network capabilities to support a diverse range of operations. This has prompted many companies to invest in fiber-optic infrastructure and has also created a sense of urgency around making the upgrade.

Julie McDaniel, Vice President Marketing at Perle Systems comments, “While it may be tempting to move quickly in fiber adoption, careful planning will prevent significant problems. This whitepaper covers the most commonly experienced challenges and is designed to help companies make a smooth transition in their network upgrade.”

The series consists of six issues that companies could face if they rush the process of fiber-optic migration. These problems could have a financial and operational impact on network performance and should all be taken into consideration when adopting a new optical infrastructure.
