If you’re a CIO, commercial property investor, manager or just want to be abreast of emerging business technology you need to be at this free lunchtime session.

Passive Optical LAN (POL) is being rolled out through commercial buildings in Europe and in a few years will be an expectation for high-functioning office space here in New Zealand.

Join Environment Canterbury, which included POL technology in its new premises in 2011, and New Zealand and international industry leaders in a lively panel discussion in Chorus’ state-of-the-art Fibre Experience Lab.

The panel will discuss how POL will revolutionise how New Zealanders work, bringing cost savings, environmental benefits and driving agility and efficiency, as well as the advantages and challenges of rolling the technology out through New Zealand office infrastructure.

Following the discussion attendees can take part in a hands-on demonstration of POL in the Lab. Numbers are limited to 50 so register now to avoid disappointment.
