The industry is entering a ‘fibre-for-everything’ era. Once operators have deployed fibre-to-the-home, their networks pass every other building in the street, as well as the homes, meaning they can connect businesses and other services. Fibre PON will be capable of supporting high bandwidth consumer services, industry 4.0 applications, business connectivity, 5G transport and smart city services, Ana Pesovic, Marketing Director, Fixed Networks at Nokia told TelecomTalk in an exlcusive interaction.

Q1. How is Nokia innovating in fibre technologies and solutions?
Nokia has a long history of fibre innovations, from the first GPON to 10G PON and 25G PON. We are major contributors to the 50G standard and were the first to demonstrate a 100G demo. Our chipset Quillion was designed for energy efficiency, lower latency and 3 generations of PONs on a single line card enabling smooth evolution. We were also first with 5G backhaul over PON. We also have introduced the highest capacity platform, the Lightspan MF-14, ready for the new fibre-for-everything era where fibre broadband networks additionally support smart cities, business services and mobile backhaul.
Q2. Are the customers happy with the trials of the Nokia Lightspan MF-14? If Yes, what is it that makes the solution a good fit for your customers?
Key benefits for customers:
– Start with the premium platform today and avoid hardware migration for decades
– Be ahead of the competition and get more revenues with new services (IND 4.0, 5G x-haul, wholesale)
– Excel in network operation efficiency with automated operations, fast telemetry, agile software upgrades
– Reduce power bill and be ahead of sustainability targets
Frontier Communications, the first in the U.S. to trial 25G PON, is also the first to evaluate MF-14 in its live network. Frontier’s Scott Mispagel, SVP of National Architecture and Engineering, said: “We are proud to be the first to embrace this next-generation platform. This is another way for us to provide customers with the fastest broadband available. The MF-14 platform will support our path to 100G using our existing fibre network and future-proof our network with speeds that will continue to outpace cable and other technologies for generations to come.”
