Speaking on the opening day of the FTTH Conference, Iskratel’s CTO warned operators that they must consider a period of co-existence in order to unlock the full potential of next-generation PON technologies such as XGS-PON and NG-PON2.

Damjan Slapar highlighted how operators could miss out on introducing revenue-generating applications if they don’t upgrade their networks and take advantage of next-generation PON capabilities, including increased symmetrical bandwidth and flexible wavelength plans.

In the face of this industry shift to next-generation networks, Iskratel has launched its own solutions for a lucrative and controlled migration at the FTTH Conference, in Valencia, Spain.
