Frontier Becomes First Company in North America to Demonstrate 100G Broadband Network Speeds

What’s happening: Frontier, in partnership with Nokia, is the first company in North America to successfully trial record-breaking broadband speeds of 100G, 50G, 25G, and 10G Passive Optical Networks (PON) technologies simultaneously, all on our existing network.

Why it matters: This trial demonstrates that as new technologies become available, we can easily adapt and use fiber that was built decades ago and fiber that will be in the ground decades from now to meet the increasing demand for ultra-fast connectivity.

How it works: Today, our network supports 10G and 25G fiber speeds to homes and businesses. Nokia’s Lightspan MF Fiber PON platform enables us to deliver unprecedented speeds well into the future enabled by 100G PON. When combined with our unique quad band coexistence technology, we have the ability to deliver multiple broadband speeds on a signal strand of fiber, at scale across our entire network.

More simply? We can easily upgrade our network and use our existing fiber to deliver the blazing fast speeds our customers want and need today, tomorrow, and for decades to come.

“We are proud to partner with Nokia to lead the industry in successfully trialing ultra-fast speeds enabled by 100G PON technology. As demand for faster broadband continues to grow, we have demonstrated our ability to achieve these speeds using our existing fiber network,” said Veronica Bloodworth, EVP, Chief Network Officer at Frontier. “This trial reinforces our commitment to operational excellence and features the advanced technology created by our Fiber Innovation Labs team, who are always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for our network and our customers.”
