Nokia has revealed that Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited (HKBN), a prominent provider of telecom and technology solutions in Hong Kong and the PRC, will implement its 25G PON fiber solution. This move aims to offer customers in the region exceptionally fast and dependable broadband access speeds. The deployment of 25G PON will enable the delivery of symmetrical broadband speeds of up to 20Gb/s, which are crucial for supporting cutting-edge applications and business services driving the contemporary digital economy.
Fiber optic technology, renowned for its future-proofing and energy efficiency, is now connecting everything to multi-gigabit services. As the digital economy expands, operators such as HKBN are keen to introduce new services that can provide unparalleled user experiences and adapt to evolving broadband requirements. Powered by the Quillion chipset, Nokia's 25G PON fiber broadband solution enables HKBN to repurpose its current fiber broadband infrastructure, swiftly meeting the growing demand for increased capacity and advanced broadband services.
Owner, Executive Vice-Chairman, and Group CEO, "Since 2004, HKBN has been the market leader in introducing Hong Kong's first fiber-to-the-home broadband service. With an unwavering commitment to innovation, we have joined forces with Nokia to achieve a groundbreaking upgrade, proudly providing customers with a revolutionary 25Gbps broadband speed that meets their ever-increasing demands for network connectivity. Looking ahead, we will continue to stay at the forefront of technological advancements, investing resources to expand network coverage and upgrade infrastructure. This will enable more households and businesses to benefit from our exceptional and high-quality services".
Geert Heyninck, Vice President of Broadband Networks at Nokia, "Nokia’s technology enables HKBN to upgrade its existing fiber network quickly and efficiently, leveraging both passive and active assets. With Nokia's technology and HKBN 's citywide network, we're leading customers into a new era of seamless connectivity".
Roland Montagne, Director and Principal Analyst for FTTH at IDATE, "The momentum behind 25G PON continues to build with the number of deployments growing substantially over the past year. Clearly the ability to quickly upgrade GPON and XGS-PON to deliver true 25Gbs without having to deploy additional network elements is attractive for large operators like HKBN that want to deliver 25G PON services to its customers".
