Nokia has announced that Google Fiber is deploying Nokia’s 25G PON formula to enhance its existing fibre network and deliver a new 20 Gig broadband service to customers through GFiber Labs. Using Nokia’s 25G PON formula, GFiber can provide broadband speeds that claim to be up to 10x faster than what most fibre networks can deliver.
Nokia’s 25G PON fibre broadband formula allows GFiber to establish a future-ready network to address the growing demand for more capacity and enhanced broadband services. GFiber Labs is currently using this technology to deliver 20 Gig services to The University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC) and United Way of Utah County and will be available to select residential customers by the end of the year.
Nokia’s 25G PON service enables GFiber to reuse its existing optical fibre cables and active equipment deployed in its network to deliver a 20 Gig symmetrical broadband service to customers quickly.
“The age of multi-gig broadband services is here and we’re committed to ensuring all of our customers can benefit from the incredible potential it brings,” said Liz Hsu, a senior director of product and billing at Google Fiber. “We believe investments in advanced network technologies like Nokia’s 25G PON formula will help catalyse change, drive innovation, and revolutionise the user experience. We’re thrilled to be working with Nokia to move our industry and customers forward.”
“It’s an exciting time to be a Google Fiber customer as we work to help them usher in a new era of connectivity that’s capable of delivering lightning-fast 20 gigabit services,” said Geert Heyninck, a general manager of broadband networks at Nokia. “With our 25G PON service Google Fiber can reuse its existing fibre network to quickly and cost-effectively deliver the next generation of gigabit services to their customers. We’re proud to continue supporting Google Fiber on its quest to build the foundation of tomorrow’s internet,”
