Corning Optical Communications: Evolv® Solution with Pushlok™ Technology

Next-generation passive optical and 5G networks promise to deliver life-changing applications at ever-increasing speeds. Remote surgeries, autonomous cars, and Industry 4.0 require low latencies and a bandwidth only 5G can offer. And yet, these next-generation network architectures rely on advanced solutions to support increased bandwidth demands. Space is often an issue in urban areas and 5G requires more small cells to be discretely placed in already congested environments.

Evolv™ Terminals and drops are the solution. They support FTTP and 5G deployments in today’s increasingly space-constrained environments, particularly where congested polls or ducts are an issue. When space is a primary concern, aesthetics become critical. Corning’s solutions' improved aesthetics allow operators to deploy terminals for any type of fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network with minimal visual impact. The Pushlok™ Technology also enables simple one-handed drop installation, with tactile and audible feedback.
