Cloud-to-Edge Next-Gen PON solution suite
Today’s PON technologies provide operators with a variety of operational and competitive benefits, including reduced OPEX, maximizing the capacity of existing fiber infrastructure, and the rapid deployment of new services. The microevolution of PON technology will culminate in symmetrical, 50G speeds in support of tomorrow’s bandwidth-hungry applications: 8K video and gaming, Virtual/Augmented Reality, and others. Operators can start down the path to 50G with CommScope’s PON Evo™ products—an end-to-end portfolio of optimized, leading-edge PON solutions that support today’s high-speed Internet requirements and lay the groundwork for tomorrow’s 25G and 50G networks.
The PON Evo™ product portfolio is the latest chapter in CommScope’s history of PON innovation and excellence. PON Evo™ enables operators to deploy today’s cutting-edge PON technologies—including G-PON, XGS-PON, and 10G PON—while establishing a path to next-generation 50G operation. By deploying PON Evo products, operators can maximize their investments in their current PON networks while reducing their anxieties about regret spending for future technologies.
The PON Evo portfolio includes a comprehensive range of OLT, R-OLT, ONU, and cloud-based/centralized management solutions for any type of operator—cable, Telco, hybrid MSO, municipality/power, and new entrants—that continue CommScope’s legacy of leading-edge PON systems development and deployment. PON Evo™ products support all types of deployment scenarios, from low-density rural to high-density urban networks, providing operators with a single, comprehensive source for current and future PON technologies.
Key products in the PON Evo portfolio include:
- Next-generation Optical Line Terminal (OLT) shelves, which provide ultra-high bandwidth services for Residential, Business, and Mobile customer segments across high-density geographic areas
- 10G R-OLT (Remote Optical Line Terminal) modules for CommScope HFC Nodes and VHubs, which enable the seamless coexistence of RF/HFC, RFoG overlay, and digital returns in legacy CommScope HFC node and VHub enclosures.
- The vBNG Evo™ platform, an innovative virtual Broadband Network Gateway that simplifies subscriber management via easily scalable user planes that can be added when and where operators need them and control planes that support up to two million subscriber sessions each
- The PON Evo™ SDN Management and Control Platform, which enables operators to remotely control ONTs, and all PON Evo OLT hardware components.

From our experts
Next-gen PON: A Cloud-to-Edge approach
Leveraging two decades of PON experience, CommScope has developed a next-generation PON system that delivers cloud-to-edge innovation and unlocks new benefits for service providers. Erik Gronvall, CommScope’s VP of PON PLM, discusses how CommScope’s advanced solution enables flexible deployment, lower total costs, and faster introduction of new features for service providers.
The new network transition: SDN for service provider networks
The opportunity to leverage virtualization and SDN in service provider networks has been discussed for a decade. Now, David Keane Mirajkar, head of Service Provider Solutions and Architecture—CommScope EMEA, explains why the time is right for service providers to deploy next-gen PON networks with advanced software intelligence built in.
Bringing it all together with what’s next in PON
How can service providers bring today’s PON islands together with a centralized strategy? Randy Schmid, CommScope’s Senior Director, Key Accounts, discusses how software-defined networks, flexible hardware solutions, and service assurance play a critical in unifying next-gen PON networks and giving service providers a competitive edge.
