Huawei has announced that South Korea’s SK Broadband has deployed its Flex-PON solution to provide gigabit-speed ultra-broadband access for its end users.
In a report by Light Reading outlining the development, the Chinese vendor was said to have noted that, by deploying the Flex-PON solution, SK Broadband was reusing its existing optical distribution network (ODN) resources ‘to achieve smooth evolution to the next generation PON network’, while also enhancing network capacity. Huawei’s Flex-PON solution is said to support the integration of XGS-PON, and 40G
TWDM-PON in one service board, and will reportedly allow SK Broadband to provide downlink speeds of 1Gbps for users as required utilising either of the aforementioned technologies. SK Broadband is said to be planning to deliver GPON-based fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) services later this year.
