Technuter Nokia and Vodafone have announced the successful trial of a new Passive Optical Network (PON) technology capable of delivering speeds up to 100 gigabits per second (Gb/s) on a single wavelength 10 times faster than the most advanced networks available today. This marks the latest industry-first in fiber access for Nokia, following breakthroughs in 10G PON, TWDM-PON, universal PON and 25G PON. The trial, which took place in Vodafone’s Eschborn lab in Germany last week, is the latest milestone in a long-standing collaboration between Vodafone and Nokia to accelerate the potential of...

Nokia has announced that it has been working with Vodafone to develop a new Passive Optical Network (PON) technology to deliver 100Gbps on a single PON wavelength. The innovation uses Nokia Bell Labs tech and partner Vodafone has become the first major operator worldwide to successfully trial '100G PON'. The key achievement is that 100G PON can transfer data 10x faster than today's most advanced fibre networks. In an email to HEXUS, Nokia revealed that 100G PON was achieved as follows: Nokia Bell Labs leveraged cost-effective 25G optics in combination with state-of-the-art digital signal proc...

Digitalisation set to accelerate in 2021 Hannes Niederhauser, CEO of S&T, has identified five defining trends in the industry for the coming year: Predictive Maintenance, High Performance Computing/AI, 5G and 10G-PON, Functional Safety and the SDC standard in the medical sector. “Corona has changed the world and given a boost to digitalization in many areas. This is particularly evident in the industrial environment. Processes around production have also changed. We see a trend from off-shoring to Asia back to in-shoring to Europe. However, competitive production ...

Executive Summary The debate over the best infrastructure to deliver fixed last-mile broadband service in the 21st century is settled, and fiber is the undisputed winner. Fiber-to-the-home deployments are a better option for consumers today, and they are the only option that will allow expansive, efficient upgrades to America’s networks for a generation. This is not to say that no broadband technology will ever surpass fiber-optics, but we know the limitations of existing technologies in use today. Currently, the alternatives to fiber face headwinds that fiber does not, including limited ba...
