Iskratel is meeting operator demand for a cost-effective migration to NG-PON2 and XGS-PON access technologies with the launch of its latest universal next-generation PON solutions - the 8-port multi-PON blade and the 16-port GPON blade.

The 8-port multi-PON blade demonstrates Iskratel’s latest breakthrough in the market, simultaneously supporting NG-PON2 and XGS-PON technologies, without the need to replace current PON infrastructure. The innovative NG-PON blade is flexible enough for operators to build on their existing GPON shelves, providing a pay-as-you-grow, gradual expansion to next-generation networks.

The new-to-market solutions – which will be unveiled at the FFTH Conference, in Valencia, Spain – protect operators’ past investments by maximising the life cycle of existing PON equipment in the network, while arming operators for any migration scenario, business need and service type.
