50G PON Live Network in Optic Communication Industry

Swisscom and Huawei jointly announced the completion of the world's first 50G PON live network service verification on Swisscom's existing optical fiber network, which means Swisscom's continuous innovation and leadership in optical fiber broadband services and technologies. This is also the latest milestone in the long-term joint innovation between Swisscom and Huawei after they completed the world's first 50G PON technology verification in 2020.

It has become a consensus in the industry that broadband networks are moving towards all-optical access, and the current mainstream technology is GPON/10G PON. In recent years, the rapid development of various new services, such as AR/VR, and various cloud applications are promoting the evolution of optical access technology. ITU-T officially approved the first version of the 50G PON standard in September 2021. At present, 50G PON has been recognized by industry standard organizations, operators, equipment manufacturers and other upstream and downstream industry chains as the mainstream standard of next-generation PON technology, which can support government and enterprise , family, industrial park and other application scenarios.
