Most fiber-based gigabit access networks use GPON technology. GPON has a downstream capacity of 2.5 Gbps, but with bandwidth needs continuously increasing, GPON is running out of steam! It is quickly giving way to the next generation – XGS-PON –…
The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) prioritizes fiber deployment for broadband access in rural areas, favoring higher-than-baseline speeds and low-latency services. Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON) with 2.5Gbps downstream capacity and 1.25Gbps upstream capacity, and 10…
In a previous article, I made a case for why operators should consider deploying XGS-PON to gain the favor of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund’s (RDOF) prioritized support for services with faster speeds and lower latency. Making the switch to…
The Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) has set a minimum performance tier of 25/3 Mbps but prioritized support for services with faster speeds and lower latency. The goal was to close the “digital divide” and encourage providers to offer affordable,…
