A company is studying the trends in advanced optical networks as they enter the 50G PON era.
Adhere to innovation, reserve capabilities, and actively explore the next generation of all-optical access platforms. Designed to meet the new business development needs of 10 Gigabit bandwidth.
Global fiber optic development accelerates
The stats of a consulting company indicate that almost 70% of global broadband users will use FTTx by 2022. The growth rate will reach 80.2% in 2027.
Optical networks are the primary method of internet connection. They are fast, easy to use, and environmentally friendly.
Bandwidth growth is a key factor for the development of optical access networks and platforms, driving technological evolution.
On the one hand, GPON has evolved to 10G PON and achieved widespread deployment of Gigabit networks.
On the other hand, to meet the high-speed forwarding of business. The optical access platform develops from centralized forwarding to distributed forwarding. The main control, forwarding, and switching platform separates and operates independently.

New services and technologies are leading to the growth of next-gen optical access networks in the following ways.
- Video services account for the largest proportion of broadband network traffic
Video services are favored by a large number of users for their flexible presentation, strong interactivity and immediacy.
- Acceleration of digitalization and informatization transformation
In the home field, FTTR has become a new trend, and all-fiber technology has become a trend.
- The dust of 50G PON standard has settled
They will release the 50G PON standard in 2021, and they will release the G.9804.3 Amd1 supplementary standard in 2023.
A telecom company believes that the future optical access network and platform should have certain abilities and features. These should meet the mentioned requirements and changes. The company believes that we should do this in accordance with the PON technology development rules.
- Ultra-broadband access capabilities for 50G PON
- Expand ultra-wide application capabilities in thousands of industries
- Support autonomous and open network architecture capabilities
- Greener and more environmentally friendly energy-saving and consumption-reducing capabilities
A company will learn about the future of optical networks as they enter the 50G PON era. We will keep pushing for new ideas, keeping our abilities ready, and looking for the next optical access platforms.
Advocate smooth evolution capabilities to reduce operator construction costs. Enhance open and green capabilities to build a sustainable FTTx network. Help operators develop new services and provide high-quality user experience. Promote the technological development and evolution of optical access networks.
