In the ever-changing and advancing landscape of broadband communications, the concept of “high speed PON” becomes somewhat subjective. GPON was the ultimate for years as it offered higher data rates than any other PON variant. Now, the data rates of newer options such as XGS-PON are leaving GPON in the dust.
In this paper, we focus on the evolution of PON standards and PON variants capable of 10Gbps or higher, at least in the downstream:
We’ll look at the benefits of high speed PON, including one early adopter community considering itself the nation’s “first gig city”, whose initial investment in fiber and PON has paid handsomely in terms of economics and quality of life for its residents. Other cities are following suit, reaping employment-related benefits and increases in home values as just the start.
No pain, no gain as they say – we’ll also delve into the many challenges faced by service providers and their tech partners as they move toward high speed PON. Interoperability, supply chain delays and numerous other obstacles hinder PON’s progression industry-wide. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to overcome these challenges and create end-to-end, turnkey, future-ready solutions which we’ll discuss as well in our downloadable whitepaper.
