Nokia’s Wireless PON (Passive Optical Network) solution is an industry first that allows operators to bring gigabit services to customers using WiGig wireless technology, eliminating the need to bring fiber to a home or building. Mounted to telephone poles, street lights or building facades, beamforming is used to bring connections of up to 1Gbps to WPON home units located up to 300 m away on the outside of a building or home. Operators can bring fiber to a street corner or neighborhood, and then use multiple access points in a row to connect homes and businesses. By combining fiber-to-the-home, operators can connect more people, sooner.
