CityFibre will use the support of Nokia and Calix to deploy 10Gbps XGS-PON access technology across the entirety of its UK network from 2023.
The transition from G-PON to XGS-PON will enable the introduction of residential and business services at symmetrical speeds of up to 10Gbps.
It has been trailed in York in partnership with Calix, LambdaNetworks and Splice Group.
Calix has been CityFibre’s G-PON technology partner since 2018, meanwhile Nokia has provided support for CityFibre’s service aggregation platform since 2016.
Nokia has announced that the deal will stand for ten years with node Shipment beginning in Q4 2022.
John Franklin, Chief Technology and Information Officer at CityFibre said: “Our parallel deployment of a high-capacity national backbone to carry virtually unlimited traffic alongside this XGS-PON deployment programme will deliver a network for the future.
“This will enable our ISP partners to offer a differentiated range of services in confidence that speed and service quality can be maintained as consumer and business bandwidth demand continues to rise.”
