The association is accepting manufacturers, distributors, integrators and consulting companies as members.

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