Google Fiber has successfully tested 50 Gbps PON technology over its existing fiber network using Nokia’s Lightspan MF fiber access platform. This is the first live network demonstration of 50G PON technology in the US and builds on the 25G PON deployment GFiber Labs announced with Nokia last year. The test demonstrates how different PON […]
At Fiber Connect 2022 in Nashville, Nokia Bell Labs showed the first proof-of-concept demonstration of 100G PON. The prototype delivers 100Gbps downstream on a single PON wavelength. The performance is achieved using digital signal processing as well optimizations of the modulation. Nokia is also introducing the concept of a “flexible PON”, where the downstream performance […]
Nokia has reached the 1.5 million port milestone for its Quillion chipset-based broadband solutions, potentially reaching 50 million subscribers.500K of the ports are 25G PON-ready. The Quillion chipset now has more than160 operator customers around the world. Designed to offer multi-PON capabilities with GPON, XGS-PON and 25G PON all running on the same fiber, Quillion […]
The 25GS-PON MSA Group today announced seventeen new member organizations, including service providers Proximus, OptiComm, and INEA, as well as CableLabs. In addition to the operators and service provider organizations, new members including ALPHA, Asia Optical, BFW, CZT, DZS, EXFO, EZconn, Gemtek, JPC, MT2, Pegatron, SiFotonics, and WNC. This brings the 25GS-PON MSA to 34 […]
Nokia confirmed that Openreach has conducted tests of its 25G PON technology, Having already tested the 25G PON technology at Openreach’s Adastral Park lab in Ipswich, UK, the two companies plan to launch a field trial by the end of 2021. Peter Bell, Director, Network Technology at Openreach said: “As the country’s largest digital infrastructure […]
Vodafone completed a trial of a new Passive Optical Network (PON) technology capable of delivering speeds up to 100 Gbs on a single wavelength – the first application of flexible rate transmission in a PON network. The test was conducted in Vodafone’s Eschborn lab in Germany. The Nokia Bell Labs 100G PON prototype leveraged 25G […]
Nokia introduced a 25 Gbps symmetrical PON fiber broadband solution based on its own Quillion chipset and existing next-generation PON access platform and line cards. Nokia says 25G PON will be a key technology to enable fiber to become the single infrastructure that underpins the entire telecom industry and to deliver any service to any […]
Fujitsu Network Communications and HFR Networks introduced new and enhanced Smart xHaul solutions for 5G network transport. Enhancements include new optics for the M6424 time sensitive networking (TSN) aggregation and transport switch — which is in use with a Tier 1 U.S. service provider as the lead customer — and the new M6208E TSN switch […]
A multi-vendor feasibility event testing pre-standard 25 Gbps Ethernet equipment and cabling has found an 86% interoperability success rate. The recent 25 Gbps technical feasibility event held at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) produced promising results, according to The Ethernet Alliance, with a high percentage of tests exceeding expected requirements of the […]
