fiber and connection
Open Fiber is among the first companies in Italy to test the new 50G-PON (50Giga) broadband access service in a controlled environment, with which it is possible to reach an access network speed of up to 50Gbps (500 times 100Mbps) . The results of the tests carried out show the great potential of this technological update in terms of bandwidth and latency times of a few tens of microseconds.
These functionalities will be essential to continue to meet the needs of users in terms of quality of experience and speed in constant and rapid growth: the AGCOM 2022 report shows, in fact, that the average monthly traffic per user on the fixed network increased by 87 % compared to 2019. Furthermore, this new technological frontier will open up a series of new service scenarios and will be decisive in linking the access network elements of 5G mobile networks. In fact, the new generation mobile networks require a denser transmission antennas (microcells) and a large transmission capacity of the networks themselves. Thanks to the 50G-PON technology and the capillarity of the PON network, the FTTH access network becomes a platform that allows fixed-mobile convergence, becoming an important enabler for the new applications that will travel on the 5G network, from home automation to assisted driving, from the Metaverse to AI.
The experiment also demonstrated the possibility of making the new 50 gigabyte service run in parallel, and without interference, with the services already offered by the company (XGS-PON or 10GB).
“Open Fiber has always been a pioneer in the search for state-of-the-art technological solutions that allow ever more capacity and speed in data transmission – says Guido Bertinetti, Director of Network & Operations -. The success of this test will allow us to provide partner operators with a new standard in a short time to offer their customers, companies and public administrations capable of supporting the most advanced digital services of today and those of the future”.
