The need for upgraded passive optical network (PON) technology is accelerating as global residential and enterprise demand for FTTH continues to surge. Driven by policy initiatives, China and the U.S. are steadily advancing from traditional gigabit-PON (GPON) toward XGS-PON, 25G PON, and 50G PON. Meanwhile, major telecom operators and equipment vendors are collaborating not only on large-scale deployments of foundational GPON and Ethernet-PON (EPON) networks, but also on field trials of next-generation, high-performance systems such as the 50G PON.

Key Highlights

• Global surge in residential and enterprise FTTH needs is driving rapid advancements in passive optical network technology.
