Fibre-optic technology
Successful field testing of latest fibre-optic technology
Data networks have indisputably become part of the most important infrastructure of society. Entire business models and value chains are based on digital solutions that require high-performance networks. That is why Swisscom is constantly investing in the expansion of its networks and is among the world leaders in rolling out the latest developments, such as 50G PON fibre-optic technology. Following successful laboratory testing in the autumn of 2020, Swisscom has now become the world’s first TSP to put the new technology into operation for test purposes in the live network of a Swiss municipality.
