Podcast: Next-gen fiber strategies panel with izzi, Ziply Fiber and Consolidated Communications

During Fierce Telecom’s recent Broadband Technology Summit, organized in partnership with Dell’Oro Group, we heard from operators, vendors, analysts and the rest of the ecosystem on the present and future of broadband. The event, held virtually, focused on technology evolution and roll-outs across North America and beyond.

We wanted to bring you this panel moderated by our Senior Editor, Diana Goovaerts, to give you a flavor of the discussions held during this two day event. Diana talked to izzi’s Israel Madiedo, John Van Oppen from Ziply Fiber and Tom White of Consolidated Communications about the diverse strategies for next generation fiber deployments.

From fiber-deep to full FTTH, operators have multiple strategies for using fiber to optimize their broadband, as well as enterprise and transport services. The panel focused on some crucial questions; What are operators’ views of today’s prevailing technologies, including 10G EPON, DPoE, GPON, and XGS-PON? What roles will 25G, 50G, and 100G PON play in operator networks? Does PON have the legs to deliver residential, enterprise, and transport services?
