In this podcast, we’ll discuss the steps and considerations that service providers can take to ensure the network is not only ready for today’s subscriber needs and demands but also for the future of broadband demand. We’ll look at the many options available, particularly focusing on the options that claim to make upgrades very simple.

Join us for this podcast to hear about PON technologies and upgrading from GPON to the next PON. Also, learn more about access network architectures and how smart choices made at the time of every upgrade can significantly improve your ability to simplify the network and your next upgrade.

Topics of discussion:

  • 10G PON, 25G PON and 50G PON, are they ready for deployment?
  • Should service providers be focused on a multi-protocol module, or combi-PON, to upgrade from GPON to XGS-PON? What impact does it have on PON deployments?
  • Aggregation is the key area that has been affected by the increased bandwidth, but are there other areas in the network architecture that service providers should focus on to simplify their network architecture or ensure it’s ready for the future?
