Semtech Corporation has announced availability of its latest PON-X solutions, the GN25L81 2.5G combo chip and the GN25L42 2.5G burst mode PIN transimpedance amplifier (Super TIA) devices for 2.5G PON FTTR Optical Line Terminal (OLT) applications.
FTTR represents the next evolution of fixed broadband, as global demand for reliable high-speed connectivity continues to soar. In China alone, Dell’Oro Group forecasts FTTR subscribers to surpass 80 million by 2026. FTTR for business customers, or FTTR-B, offers operators an even larger opportunity to advance digital transformation for their small and medium enterprise (SME) customers. With a lifespan of several decades, fiber networks provide long term stability to SME settings.
“FTTR is growing rapidly for both residential and business applications,” said Amit Thakar, the vice president, marketing for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “A game-changer due to its capabilities, one of the biggest challenges for operators is efficient and cost-effective deployment. Semtech’s 2.5G FTTR solution sets a future-proof foundation, easily upgradeable to 10G PON without re-cabling. This allows operators to protect their valuable network investments.”
Jacqui Adams, the senior product line manager for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group, said, “Building on Semtech’s past success with low cost 2.5G PIN ONU Super TIAs, for the first time, we are offering a standards compliant burst mode 2.5G OLT Super TIA. By replacing avalanche photodiodes (APD) in 2.5G FTTR and offering a chipset with the GN25L81 OLT combo, the component and set-up costs for FTTR OLTs are significantly reduced.”
