Until very recently, 1G and 2.5G Passive Optical Network (PON) architectures were typically adequate for providing broadband services for residential and Small and Medium Business (SMB) customers, but no longer. With increased home and remote working—and near-ubiquitous adoption of video streaming, social networking, and gaming—operators are now looking to migrate to 10G XGS-PON and beyond. But when it comes to building this type of network, there’s a clear path to success: using a single, highly efficient architecture that can deliver multiple services simultaneously while scaling to meet future demands.
