Vantiva Unveils 50G PON Device For Ultra-High-Speed Fibre Networks

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Vantiva, a global technology leader in connected home solutions, has unveiled a 50-gigabit passive optical network (50G PON) optical network terminal (ONT) designed to support higher-capacity fibre broadband networks and future data demands.

The FXA701Z device complies with the ITU-T G.9804 standard and supports symmetrical upstream and downstream transmission, enabling equal data transmission speeds in both directions.

It also features an XGS-PON port, allowing telecommunications operators to deploy the device on existing 10G networks before upgrading customers to 50G services without replacing the terminal, according to the company in a statement.

Vantiva Senior Director of Product Management, Barry Weber said growing data traffic from video calls, cloud backups and AI applications was increasing demand for upstream network capacity.

Meanwhile, its Chief Product and Engineering Officer Ashwani Saigal said the device would extend the company's fibre broadband product portfolio as operators prepare for the next generation of network capacity.

Vantiva said the device is designed to support bandwidth-intensive applications, including 8K video streaming, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), distributed artificial intelligence (AI) workloads and mobile backhaul for base stations.

The FXA701Z includes operations, administration and maintenance interface support through the optical network terminal management and control interface (OMCI), enabling operators to manage and diagnose the device using standard tools already deployed across their passive optical network infrastructure.

The device has a compact design for tabletop or wall-mounted installation, while its top and bottom covers use post-consumer recycled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (PCR ABS) plastic.

Vantiva is showcasing the FXA701Z at Network X in Vienna, Austria, from Oct 13 to 15.
