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 […]
KPN is testing Nokia’s 25G PON implementation. In a field trial at an animal hospital in Rotterdam, KPN is delivering symmetrical speeds of 20 Gbps over its existing fiber network. Nokia notes that its Quillon chip enables 25G PON alongside GPON and XGS-PON on the same fiber, and powered by the same access node. Babak […]
Nextlink Internet, a rural-based and rural-focused operator in the U.S., has chosen Nokia’s XGS-PON solution to support network growth, connecting 200,000 homes and businesses in rural and exurban communities in its seven existing and five new states. Nextlink is investing in network expansion, adding Texas, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Wyoming and Louisiana to its footprint. The […]
TPG Telecom Group (TPG), Australia’s second-largest telecommunications provider, is leveraging the Adtran second generation Gigabit Gfast fiber extension portfolio to upgrade existing broadband services to Gigabit speeds and attract new subscribers. Adtran is enabling TPG to rapidly roll out Gigabit broadband services to more than 230,000 premises and over 2,000 buildings across Eastern Australia. TPG […]
Nokia introduced its Lightspan SF-8M optical line terminal (OLT) with support both GPON and XGS-PON and future support for 25G PON. The sealed remote OLT comes with flexible powering options, including power-over-coax making the unit particularly suitable for cable operators. Based on the Nokia Quillion chipset, the Lightspan SF-8M will support eight GPON, XGS-PON, or […]
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 […]
ADTRAN and ADVA announced a merger focused on end-to-end fiber networking solutions for communications service provider, enterprise and government customers. The deal combines ADTRAN’s market presence in fiber access, fiber extension and subscriber connectivity solutions with ADVA’s position in metro wavelength division multiplexing, data center interconnect, business ethernet and network synchronization solutions. The new company, […]
An Anomaly Detection Service is being rolled out across Vodafone’s pan-European network to quickly detect and remediate network anomalies before they impact Vodafone customers. The machine learning based application is running on Google Cloud. It is based on Nokia Bell Labs technology and was developed after a Nokia-Vodafone agreement signed in 2020. The product quickly […]
AT&T and the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) announced a collaboration to integrate the ONFs’ work on multi-gigabit passive optic networks (PON) with the service automation system, ONAP. The effort will integrate VOLTHA (Virtual Optical Line Termination Hardware Abstraction), the open source software stack powering PON networks, with ONAP. AT&T said the idea is to develop […]
Nokia has supplied its Time and Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Network (TWDM-PON) technology to UAE-based telecommunications service provider du for testing in its lab. The PON solution is capable of aggregate speeds of 40 Gbps. Nokia said its unique next-generation Passive Optical Network solution will enable du to upgrade its existing GPON network to […]
