Frontier Communications will deploy Nokia's XGS-PON1 technology to deliver faster broadband speeds to business and residential customers.

The phased roll out of the new enhanced services will initially focus on the greater Dallas/Fort Worth areas of Texas before expanding to the rest of the state along with Florida and California.  

Using Nokia's XGS-PON solution, Frontier can enhance the reliability, flexibility, and scale of its network to quickly expand its addressable markets, support evolving mobile backhaul requirements and increase competitive advantage, said Nokia.

Nokia's next-generation fiber technology also enables Frontier to quickly expand its current high-speed service offering to deliver new 10Gbps symmetrical broadband speeds using its existing, fiber-rich network.

Providing operators with the ability to use the same passive and active plants, XGS-PON solutions like Nokia's can be quickly deployed and used to capture 10Gbps service opportunities that help operators to improve the return on their existing fiber network investments.

Steve Gable, CTO and EVP, Frontier Communications
Nokia's platform will enable us to effectively support xDSL, P2P fiber, GPON and 10Gbps PON requirements and gain the flexibility to seamlessly evolve into future PON technologies.
