- Enhances broadband speeds up to 20 times faster than gigabit options
- Supports seamless upgrades for existing fibre networks
What happened: Nokia expands fibre capabilities with 25G PON modems
Nokia has introduced two new 25G PON fibre modems, designed to deliver significantly faster broadband speeds for homes and businesses. These devices provide speeds up to 20 times higher than current gigabit solutions, enhancing connectivity for cloud computing, gaming, and remote work.
The 25G PON technology leverages existing GPON and 10G PON fibre networks, allowing operators to upgrade their services without extensive infrastructure overhauls. Nokia has confirmed that 17 operators, including Google Fiber, Frontier, and Hong Kong Broadband, are already deploying this technology.
These modems are part of Nokia’s broader 25G PON portfolio, which includes fibre access platforms for both residential and enterprise use, as well as the first 25G PON sealed fibre access node for cable operators. Nokia aims to support operators in scaling their networks efficiently while preparing for future broadband demands.

Why it’s important
The launch of Nokia’s 25G PON modems marks a step forward in fibre broadband development. As internet usage continues to grow, high-speed networks are essential for supporting bandwidth-intensive applications such as cloud-based services, ultra-HD streaming, and enterprise connectivity.
With close to two million 25G-capable ports already deployed, Nokia’s modems provide a cost-effective solution for operators looking to expand network capacity without major infrastructure changes. By supporting a seamless transition from existing PON technologies, Nokia ensures service providers can maintain competitiveness while preparing for future broadband needs.
