Operators face relentless demand for bandwidth from cloud, 5G and enterprise services, and need a strategy that scales without inflating cost or complexity. 50G PON is emerging as the next step in fiber evolution, delivering the capacity and efficiency to support converged residential, business and mobile transport on a single infrastructure. It offers a way to extend the life of existing fiber assets while unlocking new revenue streams and improving return on capital. The challenge is balancing performance and interoperability with operational simplicity so networks can adapt quickly to future service models.
In this German-language session, Stephan Rettenberger will explore how 50G PON enables operators to meet exponential traffic growth and deliver differentiated services without disruptive overbuilds. He will discuss coexistence with GPON and XGS-PON, lessons from early deployments and the commercial drivers shaping adoption. Expect insights on how this technology supports faster time-to-market, higher take-up and long-term investment certainty. Attendees will leave with a clear view of where 50G PON fits in their roadmap and how it can power the next era of broadband.
