According to Huawei's official report, recently, Swisscom and Huawei jointly announced the completion of the world's first 50G PON live network service verification on Swisscom's existing optical fiber network, which means Swisscom's continuous innovation and leadership in optical fiber broadband services and technologies. This is also the latest milestone in the long-term joint innovation between Swisscom and Huawei after they completed the world's first 50G PON technology verification in 2020.
It has become a consensus in the industry that broadband networks are moving towards all-optical access, and the current mainstream technology is GPON/10G PON. In recent years, the rapid development of various new services, such as AR/VR, and various cloud applications are promoting the evolution of optical access technology. ITU-T officially approved the first version of the 50G PON standard in September 2021. At present, 50G PON has been recognized by industry standard organizations, operators, equipment manufacturers and other upstream and downstream industry chains as the mainstream standard for next-generation PON technology, which can support government and enterprise , family, industrial park and other application scenarios.
The 50G PON technology and service verification completed by Swisscom and Huawei is based on the existing access platform and adopts wavelength specifications that meet the standards. It coexists with 10G PON services on Swisscom’s current optical fiber network, verifying the 50G PON’s capabilities. Stable high-speed and low-latency, as well as high-speed Internet access and IPTV services based on the new system, prove that the 50G PON technology system can support coexistence and smooth evolution with the existing network PON network and system, which lays the foundation for the large-scale deployment of 50G PON in the future. A solid foundation is a key step for both parties to lead the next generation of industry direction, joint technological innovation, and exploration of application scenarios.
In this regard, Feng Zhishan, President of Huawei's Optical Access Product Line, said: "Huawei will use its continuous R&D investment in 50G PON technology to help Swisscom build an advanced optical access network, provide higher-quality network connections for homes and enterprises, and lead industry development direction.
