- First commercial deployment of XGS-PON in the Southeastern US
will open the door to new enhanced services and applications for
current and future Hotwire customers there.
October 23, 2018
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida - Hotwire, one of the leading
US fiber-optic telecommunications providers specializing in
residential and commercial services, will deploy
Nokia's XGS-PON1 fiber solution to enhance its
network and deliver new, high-quality 10Gbps broadband
services to its customers. The roll-out
brings some of the fastest broadband speeds to Hotwire's Florida
and North Carolina customers, including Salisbury, North
Carolina - Hotwire's latest public-private partnership - and will
expand to support other such partnerships in the future.
Hotwire's deployment of Nokia's XGS-PON solution reflects its
commitment to continually develop the capabilities and speed of its
market-leading network, and is an important step towards extending
new ultra-broadband services such as streaming video in 4k, 8k and
12k. The deployment also provides a cost-effective upgrade path for
Hotwire's existing fiber network, which covers most of the US east
coast, allowing the company to seamlessly move from GPON (2.5Gbps)
to XGS-PON (10Gbps) using the same access node.
Jonathan Bullock, VP of Corporate Development &
Government at Hotwire, said: "From the beginning, Hotwire has
focused on deploying cutting-edge technology to ensure our
customers experience the very best of broadband. This is why we
invest in future-proof fiber and build direct fiber infrastructure
into every home and business we serve. We're now making that
network even faster for our customers by rolling out the first
10-Gigabit service in Florida and North Carolina. Hotwire is
excited to partner with Nokia, which is at the forefront of
next-generation PON technology. With Nokia's solution, we can
radically enhance the capacity of our network with minimal impact
or network upgrades."
Federico Guillen, president of Nokia Fixed Networks business
group, said: "We are excited to help Hotwire kick off their
10Gbps service and provide the tools, resources and expertise they
need to deliver better, faster and smarter ultra-broadband access
to customers in Florida and North Carolina. With a proven track
record of next-generation fiber technology deployments, we were
able to demonstrate how our XGS-PON solution could help provide a
cost-effective path to 10Gbps and support the enhanced
ultra-broadband services Hotwire required. We look forward to
continuing supporting Hotwire as it provides best-in-class
broadband to its residential, commercial and government customers
throughout the US Southeast."
