With demand for multigigabit broadband accelerating, a small but growing number of UK operators are moving beyond 10Gbit/s passive optical networking technologies to prepare for what’s next. 50G PON is emerging as a key enabler, offering the scale, efficiency and performance needed to support AI workloads, business-critical services and the long-term growth of the UK’s digital economy.

In this keynote discussion, Adtran’s Eric Joyce and Netomnia CEO Jeremy Chelot will reveal how Netomnia became the first UK provider to introduce 50G PON, what benefits the network is already delivering and how this first step lays the groundwork for future expansion. They will also share lessons learned from deploying Adtran’s next-gen optical line terminals in a live network.
