“ADTRAN’s NG-PON2 implementation has the potential to advance the adoption of 10G FTTP for residential markets by three to five years, while its increased capacity will double the life of the network,” said Jeff Heynen, research director for Broadband Access and Pay TV at Infonetics Research, now part of IHS Inc. “NG-PON2’s initial rollout was thought to primarily benefit premium business and backhaul services because of its much higher cost over GPON FTTP solutions. ADTRAN will dramatically change this dynamic, delivering 10G NG-PON2 solutions at costs approaching today’s volume-priced 2.5G GPON. This allows service providers to affordably scale next-gen PON deployments and provide flexibility without compromising future capabilities.”
