50G PON

50G PON is the next step beyond XGS-PON (10G PON) in the evolution of PON technology. With so many data-hungry applications on the horizon, it’s more important than ever for service providers to build for the future. Applications such as hybrid gaming worlds, multi-modal generative AI, and enhanced automation in industrial digitalization are all emerging technologies that must be considered to ensure existing network infrastructure remains relevant and supports the next generation of PON technologies. To give service providers a competitive advantage in delivering multigigabit services, Adtran has pioneered the development and integration of 50G PON technology, driving network transformation and innovation for today and tomorrow.

Designed with the service provider in mind, 50G PON checks all the major boxes for marketability and scalability for new and existing networks. It enables highly competitive, ultra-fast services at 10Gbit/s, 20Gbit/s or even higher speeds. This next-generation technology empowers service providers to streamline the delivery of business and enterprise connectivity over a single fiber, enabling multiple high-speed Ethernet services for smart campuses, data centers and cloud-centric businesses. It also supports backhauling other point-to-multipoint (P2MP) infrastructure like public Wi-Fi hotspots, private wireless LANs, fixed wireless access nodes and small cell backhaul. For service providers, this means new revenue streams through premium services, the ability to differentiate in competitive markets, and seamless scalability to meet rising customer expectations. With 50G PON, providers can seamlessly support emerging data-driven applications like AI and immersive gaming while ensuring their networks remain scalable, competitive and prepared for increased demand.

Adtran is at the forefront of building full-fiber networks leveraging PON technologies that deliver multigigabit access to homes, businesses and for infrastructure backhaul. Our growing family of SDX OLTs now includes the SDX 6400 Series of 50G PON OLTs to meet the needs of every deployment scenario, offering service providers complete flexibility. Complementing this, our Mosaic One platform helps service providers easily scale and manage their ever-growing network infrastructure with management software designed to simplify transitions across new and existing technologies, accelerate migration to new technologies, and streamline operations by reducing provisioning times. With 50G PON, they can confidently meet rising customer expectations, keeping their networks scalable, competitive, and ready for whatever the future brings.
