Nokia Launches Groundbreaking Co-Existence Solution, Enabling Multi-Gigabit PON Services Over a Single Fiber

(IN BRIEF) Nokia has introduced a new co-existence network element that enables operators to run 10G, 25G, and 50G PON services over the same fiber, providing flexibility for tailored deployments in both residential and enterprise markets. This solution allows operators to evolve from 10G and 25G to 50G and beyond, protecting existing infrastructure investments and avoiding the need for costly upgrades. Nokia’s solution supports high-speed service rollouts and enhances the scalability of fiber networks, meeting future broadband demands while ensuring seamless service delivery.

(PRESS RELEASE) ESPOO, 28-May-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Nokia has unveiled a groundbreaking co-existence solution that allows operators to seamlessly deploy 10G, 25G, and 50G Passive Optical Network (PON) services over a single fiber. This new solution offers operators the flexibility to run different PON technologies simultaneously, enabling them to meet specific business demands while preserving existing infrastructure investments and avoiding costly upgrades.

The co-existence solution is designed to support multi-gigabit broadband deployments, offering operators the ability to tailor services for both residential and enterprise customers. It also ensures that operators can evolve from current 10G and 25G technologies to 50G and beyond, without disrupting existing services. This flexibility, combined with Nokia’s expansive multi-PON portfolio, empowers operators to address a variety of deployment scenarios, ranging from tactical to mass-market applications.

Fiber, known for its future-proof, energy-efficient capabilities, is increasingly seen as the technology of choice to deliver ultra-fast and reliable broadband connectivity. Nokia’s co-existence solution enhances the scalability of fiber networks, allowing operators to provide unmatched bandwidth and speed while preparing for future broadband needs.

Geert Heyninck, General Manager of Broadband Networks at Nokia, emphasized the importance of this solution: “The move to next-generation PON gives operators a competitive edge in offering differentiated services. Our co-existence solution provides the flexibility to choose the PON technology best suited to meet the evolving demands of both residential and enterprise customers.”

The new solution allows operators to deploy various PON technologies on different wavelengths over the same fiber, preserving the integrity of existing services. This approach maximizes fiber usage and ensures operators can serve a diverse set of customer needs without the need for infrastructure replacements. With this solution, Nokia offers a comprehensive set of tools for operators looking to meet the increasing demand for high-speed broadband connectivity in both tactical and mass-market deployments.
