| Rybovich Super Yacht Marina and Refit Deploys Fiber-to-the-Slip using Alloptic Fiber-Optic Infrastructure |
Florida's Premier Mega-Yacht Service Facility and Marina offers captains and crew state-of-the-art services and technology

Alloptic, a global leader in the development of RF over glass (RFoG) and passive optical networking (PON) solutions for CATV, telecom, and private network operators worldwide, today announced that Rybovich Super Yacht Marina and Refit has deployed the Alloptic GEPON solution to its 60 yacht slips and throughout the 12 acre Rybovich property in West Palm Beach, Fla.
"Rybovich is known for its world-class accommodations and service. By deploying Alloptic's fiber optic infrastructure across our property we increase the value we provide to our captains and their crews," said John Vander Wagen, CIO, Rybovich Super Yacht Marina and Refit. "Prior to the Alloptic deployment our customers used their satellite connections for day-to-day business -- which in general was expensive and slow. Today, all mega-yachts docked at Rybovich Super Yacht Marina and Refit can securely access our dedicated, high-speed Internet and phone services at their slip allowing them to conduct business without the additional fees of expensive satellite connections."
Nature also factored into the decision to employ Alloptic's fiber-optic infrastructure. "Our copper system lasted only three years in these challenging conditions. We expect that fiber will last us 10-20 years and overall is much more reliable than copper," continued John Vander Wagen. By locating Alloptic's Optical Network Units (ONUs) in self-drying power pedestal enclosures at each slip, Rybovich Super Yacht Marina and Refit protects its investment against the ever-changing and sometimes harsh environmental conditions.
“With Alloptic's leading network access solutions, customers such as Rybovich can fulfill their network architecture needs today and ensure that their infrastructure will provide for their customers well into the future," said Shane Eleniak, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Alloptic.
With the deployment of Fiber-to-the-Slip, Rybovich Super Yacht Marina and Refit continues its state-of-the-art standard highlighted by advanced technology and equipment throughout its various outbuildings and 40,000 square foot Super Yacht Refit Center. Rybovich's service facilities include hard space for seven yachts up to 200 feet and seven in-water slips for yachts up to 300 feet. Its certified "Clean Marina" is easily accessible with no bridges from Palm Beach/Lake Worth Inlet. Rybovich Super Yacht Marina and Refit is celebrated for its luxury accommodations. It is also the largest transient dock in Florida with in-slip high speed fueling.
Chosen for low maintenance and environmental hardening, Alloptic's GEPON infrastructure is a sought after solution in challenging seaside environments which face everything from high-temperature humidity to hurricanes.
