Growing optical fiber deployments

Another key driver for the increasing demand of PON equipment is the rising optical fiber deployments by telecom operators and internet service providers. With network usages and bandwidth consumption growing exponentially, there is a pressing need to shift to fiber-based infrastructure from legacy copper networks which have limited capacities. Fiber broadband enables symmetrical speeds and lower latency compared to other broadband technologies. It also future-proofs the networks to support new technologies such as 5G, Internet of things, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and emerging applications for many years to come. Realizing the long-term benefits of fiber, many nations have launched countrywide fiberization projects with an objective to make high-speed broadband internet as universal and ubiquitous as electricity.

Telecom carriers are aggressively fiberizing their access networks by replacing old telephone wires and cables with state-of-the-art optical fiber connections. At the same time, new fiber network builds are also underway in underserved and unserved communities.
