Nokia, a leading player in the increasingly evolving global Information and Communications Technology (ICT) space, has announced the launch of a new symmetrical 25G PON fiber modem to further accelerate 25G PON deployments.
News reports on the technology feat indicated that the compact solution can easily be installed on a wall, inside a building, or in an outdoor enclosure to immediately deliver internet speeds that are 20x faster than current gigabit solutions.
According to Nokia, once deployed, operators can leverage their existing fiber network to offer new premium residential, business, or any haul services with great potential for additional revenue streams.
The new 25G PON fiber modem allows operators to establish a future-ready network that can immediately address the growing demand for more capacity and enhanced broadband services and enables operators to quickly upgrade their existing GPON or XGS PON network to deliver true 10Gbs speeds, among other benefits
For businesses, the 25G PON fiber modem can help significantly improve business productivity and enhance connectivity to the cloud or value-added applications located in data centers just as it also provides immediate access to additional capacity needed to consumers and power users to support bandwidth-hungry applications such as AI, gaming, or security.
Commenting on the innovative solution, General Manager of Broadband Networks at Nokia, Geert Heyninck, said: “The 25G PON eco-system is growing and with it, the technology that continues to bring concrete business benefits to customers. The market for 25G PON is here and with the new fiber modem, we have a very efficient 25G solution that can support all types of services and applications in the fiber-for-everything era.
“25G PON continues to be the easiest, most cost-effective and power-efficient way for services providers to upgrade and maximize the use of their existing fiber network to deliver ultra-fast broadband access”, Heyninck assured.
Speaking on the product, Vice President, Broadband Access and Home Networking at Dell’Oro Group, Jeff Heynen, said: “25G PON deployments and the 25GS-PON MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) Group has grown substantially over the past year. One of the driving factors for the growing interest in 25GS-PON is its ability to coexist with GPON and XGS-PON without having to deploy additional feeder fiber, splitters, or other ODN elements.
“This past year we’ve seen large operators like Google indicate plans to make 25G PON service available to its customers while the MSA continues to expand, encompassing a diverse range of service providers, equipment vendors, and component suppliers”, he added.
The latest 25G PON fiber modem complements Nokia’s growing 25G PON portfolio, which includes the Lightspan FX, DF and MF fiber access platforms (OLTs) and the industry’s first 25G PON sealed fiber access node designed for cable operators.
