Advancements in passive optical network (PON) technologies are paving the way for broadband networks that are scalable, cost effective and continuously adaptable to the fast evolving needs of customers. Today, XGS-PON (10 Gigabit symmetrical PON technology) is gaining significant momentum. In its recent whitepaper ‘Why XGS-PON’, Omdia takes a deep dive into the technology and why operators should invest in it.
The gigabit game plan
XGS-PON is slated to overtake other PON technologies, with OLT port shipments projected to grow rapidly from 2.3 million in 2022 to 13.4 million in 2028 (see figure 1).
