10G Technology
The technologies being used in support of 10G fiber connections include XGS-PON, as available today in such devices as the Zyxel PX7511-B0 AX6000 WiFi 6 XGS-PON VoIP Gateway ONT, which combines 10G backend speeds with a 10GB Ethernet port, Wi-Fi 6 using the AX6000 chipset to deliver 6G Wi-Fi optimized for multiple users. This all-in-one device also offers voice services and a USB 3.0 port and is part of a 10G family of CPE devices. Hitron is also offering a 10G ONT device, the NOVA 2004, with the flexibility of EPON (Ethernet PON), XGS-PON, and XG-PON in a single device. The NOVA-2004 also has a 10G Ethernet port, voice options and can be provisioned using the DOCSIS™ technology common to cable operators. Calix is another vendor with a whole suite of 10G devices, similarly supporting all of the 10G technologies, voice services, and 10G ethernet ports.
