US operator Frontier Communications announced that it has successfully demonstrated 100G broadband network speeds. The company trialled broadband speeds of 100G, 50G, 25G, and 10G Passive Optical Networks (PON) technologies simultaneously on its existing network, in partnership with Nokia. Frontier said this marks the first time a company in North America has demonstrated such speeds.

100G Broadband Trial
The company noted that its network currently supports 10G and 25G fiber speeds for homes and businesses. With Nokia's Lightspan MF Fiber PON platform, Frontier can now deliver speeds of up to 100G PON, supported by its quad-band coexistence technology, which allows multiple broadband speeds on a single fiber strand at scale across the network.
Commitment to Future-Proof Connectivity
"We can easily upgrade our network and use our existing fiber to deliver the blazing-fast speeds our customers want and need today, tomorrow, and for decades to come," the official release said.

"This trial reinforces our commitment to operational excellence and features the advanced technology created by our Fiber Innovation Labs team."
Frontier is the largest pure-play fiber provider in the US, building gigabit networks across America.
