Nokia introduced a 16-port high-density 25G PON line card aimed at enabling scalable, cost-effective delivery of multi-gigabit broadband services to residential markets. The solution is built on Nokia’s Quillion chipset and supports GPON, XGS-PON, and 25G PON concurrently, providing operators with flexible upgrade options and the ability to deploy combinations such as GPON + XGS-PON, XGS + 25G PON, or all three on a single port.
As operators face growing demand for differentiated services capable of supporting real-time cloud access, next-gen gaming, remote work, and Wi-Fi 7, Nokia’s platform is designed to meet bursty, high-peak traffic needs with 10G+ symmetrical capacity. The new line card is optimized for wide-scale adoption and energy efficiency, helping operators extend fiber investment lifecycles while accelerating monetization of high-speed broadband.
By consolidating multiple PON technologies into a single line card, Nokia gives service providers the tools to evolve their networks without disruptive overhauls. The 25G PON technology enables users to download games in minutes, achieve near-instant cloud access, and maintain backhaul capabilities for advanced in-home Wi-Fi services. Nokia positions this launch as critical to staying ahead in the competitive fiber access market.
