SHOWTIME
Q&A
 Key Takeaways
GPON adoption is very specific to each region and country depending
mostly on existing access technologies that accelerates or delays
FTTx deployments.

Automation simplifies the addition of new use cases, accelerates the

time-to-market to implement new services and allows operators to
easily add new technologies.

Standards-based frameworks as Symphonica, simplify integrations

and provide a future-proof platform with homologated use-cases for
different GPON network architectures.
