Broadband access networks

A fixed broadband access network connects homes, businesses and communities to an ever-expanding range of high-speed digital services. It combines technologies such as fiber-based passive optical networks (PON), Wi-Fi and network automation to deliver reliable, low-latency connectivity while meeting growing demands for faster speeds.

Broadband providers can deploy several technologies depending on their needs, including fiber broadband (GPON, XGS-PON, 25G, 50G PON and beyond) and in-home managed Wi-Fi solutions. There is no one-size-fits all broadband technology. Telecommunication providers select the right technology for their customers and business case.

AI enables telecommunication providers to lower operational costs, simplify fiber rollouts, and significantly enhance the customer experience. AI leverages vast amounts of network data to extract actionable insights, driving real-time decisions and automated actions. It empowers operator teams to resolve issues quickly and accurately, continuously optimize network performance, and detect issues before they impact customers.

Delivering a great broadband experience goes beyond network speed. Telecommunication providers recognize that the quality of their network is measured by the quality of the Wi-Fi in the home.  Managed Wi-Fi gives operators the tools to manage both legacy and new Wi-Fi assets and provide a premium broadband service all the way to the connected device.  Advanced Wi-Fi 7 mesh technology ensures that great broadband can be experienced in every corner of the home.
