At the same PON port density, the ZTE Combo PON solution saves 60 percent of space compared to external wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) solutions, reducing equipment deployment costs by 26 percent, helping customers reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) by providing a low-cost network to ensure smooth upgrades and steady growth.
Mr. Cai Jingzhe, Vice President at ZTE, said: “4K video, 4G/5G bearer and mass connections driverapid growth in traffic and bandwidth. Networks need to further enhance their bandwidth to be able to protect operators in running broadband networks. The industry generally believes that the current global broadband access market, evolving into the Gigabit era, means that providing 10G broadband access to the home is an inevitable trend in future construction. Big broadband needs a solution that includes the three features of ultrafast pipes, flexible networks and intelligent operations.
