10G PON Technology
The right 10G PON solution for your network, at the right time
Over 225 of today’s broadband service providers have turned to Calix’s 10G PON solutions to meet their network needs of tomorrow.
Fiber-optic cable data transmission allows very high-capacity connections to multiple subscribers.
XGS-PON simplifies deployment and upgrades.
XGS-PON, NG-PON2 and GPON can co-exist on the same fiber.
Technology detail
Why choose XGS-PON over other PON technologies?
- XGS-PON is a 10G symmetric standard (ITU G.9807.1) deployed similar to GPON.
- Because XGS-PON simplifies deployment and upgrades, you'll save time and money, and your subscribers get their new services in days, not weeks.
- NG-PON2 (Next Generation Passive Optical Network 2, or ITU-T G.989) is the first multi-wavelength access standard.
- NG-PON2 supports from 4 to 8 wavelengths of 10 Gbps each over a single fiber.
- Premises tunable lasers and receivers enable multi-gigabit broadband services.
Like previous PON technologies, both XGS-PON and NG-PON2 transmit data through fiber-optic cables, offering very high-capacity connections to multiple subscribers. However, because they are intentionally designed to use wavelengths different from GPON, XGS-PON and NG-PON2 can co-exist on the same fiber, allowing for re-using many portions of the optical distribution network (ODN).
- XGS-PON simplifies deployment and upgrades, you’ll save time and money, and your subscribers get their new services in days, not weeks.
- Because XGS-PON uses wavelengths outside of the spectrum allocated to NG-PON2 or GPON, the three technologies can co-exist on the same fiber. This positions BSPs to deploy XGS-PON in a shortened timeframe, helping them to immediately capture the benefits of offering a 10 Gbps service. But it will not inhibit them from future network enhancements.
- NG-PON2 can be introduced later, without requiring a major upgrade to the network and without disrupting existing XGS-PON or GPON services. Alternatively, NG-PON2 can be introduced wavelength by wavelength, allowing for a gradual investment strategy that can be set according to customer demand.
MDU Residential Services
- New technologies like G.fast deployed in multi-tenant buildings require higher fiber-to-the-building speeds than today's 2.5 GPON or point-to-point gigabit Ethernet.
Business and Mobile Services
- Businesses need multi-gigabit speeds, symmetrical services, and committed service rates.
- Business and business service types can be isolated on dedicated wavelengths for security and QOS.
SFU Residential Services
- Subscribers are streaming more content in 4K and adding more devices rapidly adding more devices causing an increasing need for bandwidth.
- Open Access networks are driving the need for multiple service providers on a common infrastructure.
