Partners with Nokia to unlock record-breaking
speeds with scale and efficiency
Frontier (NASDAQ: FYBR):
What’s happening: Frontier, in partnership with Nokia, is
the first company in North America to successfully trial
record-breaking broadband speeds of 100G, 50G, 25G, and 10G Passive
Optical Networks (PON) technologies simultaneously, all on our
existing network.
Why it matters: This trial demonstrates that as new
technologies become available, we can easily adapt and use fiber
that was built decades ago and fiber that will be in the ground
decades from now to meet the increasing demand for ultra-fast
connectivity.
How it works: Today, our network supports 10G and 25G
fiber speeds to homes and businesses. Nokia’s Lightspan MF Fiber
PON platform enables us to deliver unprecedented speeds well into
the future enabled by 100G PON. When combined with our unique quad
band coexistence technology, we have the ability to deliver
multiple broadband speeds on a signal strand of fiber, at scale
across our entire network.
More simply? We can easily upgrade our network and use
our existing fiber to deliver the blazing fast speeds our customers
want and need today, tomorrow, and for decades to come.
Handy quote: “We are proud to partner with Nokia to lead
the industry in successfully trialing ultra-fast speeds enabled by
100G PON technology. As demand for faster broadband continues to
grow, we have demonstrated our ability to achieve these speeds
using our existing fiber network,” said Veronica Bloodworth, EVP,
Chief Network Officer at Frontier. “This trial reinforces our
commitment to operational excellence and features the advanced
technology created by our Fiber Innovation Labs team, who are
always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for our network
and our customers."
Nokia quote: “This trial is a game-changer for operators
seeking new ways to meet evolving business needs without major
network upgrades,” said Sandy Motley, President of Fixed Networks
at Nokia. “Our fiber technology, combined with Frontier’s unique
coexistence solution, opens the door to a full range of PON
technologies available on the same platform and fiber. This
includes 10/25G PON today and 50/100G
PON moving forward. This means operators can select the right mix
of technologies based on their needs and business case.”
