The right 10G PON solution for your network, at the right time

• 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.

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.
