With the 25G PON resolution, Google Fiber can present as much as 10x quicker broadband speeds, says Nokia

Google Fiber is deploying Nokia’s 25G passive optical community (PON) resolution to bolster its current fiber community and ship a brand new 20 Gig broadband service by its GFiber Labs, an innovation hub targeted on enhancing dwelling web. In keeping with Nokia, with its 25G PON resolution, Google Fiber can present broadband speeds which are as much as 10x quicker than most different fiber networks.

“With our 25G PON resolution Google Fiber can reuse its current fiber community to shortly and affordably ship the subsequent technology of gigabit providers to their prospects. We’re proud to proceed supporting Google Fiber on its quest to construct the muse of tomorrow’s web,” commented Geert Heyninck, normal supervisor of broadband networks at Nokia.

The Finnish vendor introduced its 25G PON starter package resolution final 12 months, and first trialed the expertise at the start of this 12 months with Spanish operator Telefonica, reaching symmetric speeds of 20 Gbps. Telefonica, on the time, had fiber deployed to nearly 60 million houses throughout its enterprise models, and the trial validated that present GPON and XGS-PON broadband applied sciences can co-exist on the identical fiber with the 25G PON. 

Quick broadband is critical to help the superior purposes like AR/VR and cybersecurity which are changing into extra frequent within the dwelling and at enterprise of all sizes.

As a part of the 25G PON implementation, GFiber has additionally launched Nokia’s Lightspan and Altiplano resolution, which will increase service agility with operational effectivity. The fiber entry node helps a number of fiber applied sciences together with GPON, XGS-PON, 25GS-PON and Level-to-Level Ethernet to ship a variety of providers.

At present, GFiber Labs makes use of the 25G PON expertise to help UMKC and United Method of Utah County. Residential prospects will get entry to the brand new service by the top of the 12 months, the businesses added.

“The age of multi-gig broadband providers is right here and we’re dedicated to making sure all of our prospects can profit from the unbelievable potential it brings,” stated Liz Hsu, senior director of product & billing at Google Fiber. “We consider investments in superior community applied sciences like Nokia’s 25G PON resolution will assist catalyze change, drive innovation and revolutionize the consumer expertise.”
