Nokia and nbn Australia explore ultra-broadband future with successful next-generation fiber trial
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
* Trial demonstrates capability of next-generation fiber technology to
flexibly meet high-capacity ultra-broadband demand, positions nbn for future
network evolution
* New PON technologies can help nbn pave the way for enhanced consumer and
business service offerings
* Nokia's universal next-generation PON solution in combination with existing
GPON technology achieves aggregate 102Gbps (Gigabits per second) in a lab
trial with nbn
11 April, 2017
Sydney, Australia - nbn has successfully tested Nokia's universal NG-PON fiber
solution in Nokia's Melbourne lab facility. The trial achieved aggregate
broadband speeds of 102Gbps on a single fiber and demonstrated the dynamic
provisioning of bandwidth to support surging data demand from residential and
business customers.
Universal NG-PON converges TWDM-PON (also known as NG-PON2), XGS-PON and GPON
technology on the same fiber, and provides a simple upgrade path from current
fiber technology used in FTTP deployments.
Easily deployed as an overlay on existing fiber networks, TWDM-PON and XGS-PON
can save the time and additional cost that typically comes with laying new
fiber. TWDM-PON provides four or more wavelengths on a fiber, each capable of
supporting asymmetrical or symmetrical bit rates of 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps for a
total of 40Gbps. XGS-PON uses one wavelength to provide either 10Gbps
symmetrical or asymmetrical bit rates.
nbn was able to trial the different PON technologies using Nokia's universal
next-generation PON solution. This included:
* TWDM-PON with 40Gbps symmetrical
* XGS-PON with 10Gbps symmetrical
* GPON with 2.5Gbps
Collectively, the technologies delivered download and upload speeds of more than
102Gbps aggregate over a single shared access fiber.
With the ability to significantly expand the data capacity delivered, TWDM-PON
could allow customers to download a 2-hour, 4K-quality video in seconds. With
the use of advanced software, the technology can also enable the dynamic
provision of data capacity on the network, giving operators like nbn new options
to flexibly meet changing user needs.
nbn continues to innovate and invest in technologies that will offer its
business and residential customers the speed and quality of service required in
the future. The successful test of TWDM-PON and XGS-PON is the latest in a
number of trials nbn has conducted with Nokia across fiber and copper, including
XG-FAST.
Dennis Steiger, Chief Technology Officer of nbn, said: "Our successful trial of
NG-PON2 technology with Nokia is another example of our ongoing commitment to
continually develop the capabilities and speed of the nbn network. While we
continue to deploy the nbn network at pace with over 2 million end-users now
receiving nbn services and nearly 5 million able to order a service, we also
have a very sharp focus on the future. The NG-PON2 trials we have conducted with
Nokia have shown us the huge potential this very exciting technology has in
terms of helping us deliver on our future bandwidth and capacity requirements."
Ray Owen, head of Oceania at Nokia, said: "nbn is a valued and long-term
customer, and we are committed to bringing our latest innovations to them and
the country of Australia. The trial of our universal NG-PON solution reflects
that commitment, and demonstrates how we can help evolve nbn's network now and
in the long term to meet the increasing data demand of subscribers across the
country."
