CommScope and Altice Labs Combine PON Technologies to Power Next-Gen FTTH Networks
CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM) has announced its new PON Evo™ suite of products, developed through a strategic partnership with Altice Labs. The collaboration integrates CommScope's PON and vBNG solutions with Altice Labs' dual-density XGS PON technologies into a unified architecture.
The partnership aims to address declining average revenue per user (ARPU) by facilitating migration from GPON to XGS-PON, and potentially 50G PON, all on the same infrastructure. The solution features Altice Labs' dual density XGS-PON SFP and dual XGS-PON SFP+ solutions, significantly increasing PON port density.
This comprehensive FTTH portfolio positions CommScope as a single-source partner for next-generation fiber networks, complementing their existing hybrid fiber coax (HFC) solutions.

Le partenariat vise à remédier à la baisse du revenu moyen par utilisateur (ARPU) en facilitant la migration de GPON vers XGS-PON et potentiellement vers 50G PON, le tout sur la même infrastructure. La solution comprend les SFP XGS-PON à double densité et les solutions SFP+ XGS-PON duales d'Altice Labs, augmentant considérablement la densité des ports PON.
Ce portefeuille FTTH complet positionne CommScope comme un partenaire unique pour les réseaux en fibre de nouvelle génération, complétant ses solutions existantes en fibre coaxiale hybride (HFC).
CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM) hat seine neue Produktreihe PON Evo™ angekündigt, die in einer strategischen Partnerschaft mit Altice Labs entwickelt wurde. Die Zusammenarbeit integriert die PON- und vBNG-Lösungen von CommScope mit den Dual-Density-XGS-PON-Technologien von Altice Labs in einer einheitlichen Architektur.
Das Ziel der Partnerschaft ist es, den Rückgang des durchschnittlichen Umsatzes pro Nutzer (ARPU) zu bekämpfen, indem der Übergang von GPON zu XGS-PON und möglicherweise zu 50G PON auf derselben Infrastruktur erleichtert wird. Die Lösung umfasst die Dual-Density-XGS-PON-SFP und die Dual-XGS-PON-SFP+-Lösungen von Altice Labs, die die PON-Portdichte erheblich erhöhen.
Dieses umfassende FTTH-Portfolio positioniert CommScope als einen einzigen Partner für Netzwerke der nächsten Generation in Glasfaser, das die bestehenden Hybrid-Glasfaser-Koaxiallösungen (HFC) ergänzt.

Insights
CommScope's strategic partnership with Altice Labs to launch the PON Evo suite represents a significant enhancement to their fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) portfolio. By integrating Altice Labs' advanced OLTs, SDN management systems, and dual density XGS-PON technologies with CommScope's existing virtual broadband network gateway (vBNG) solutions, the company has positioned itself as a comprehensive single-source partner for service providers.
This collaboration addresses critical market challenges, particularly declining average revenue per user (ARPU) in the telecom sector. The PON Evo suite enables cost-effective migration paths from GPON to XGS-PON and potentially 50G PON on the same infrastructure, significantly increasing PON port density. This flexibility allows operators to evolve their networks incrementally while maximizing infrastructure investments.
For CommScope, this partnership strategically expands their addressable market beyond their traditional hybrid fiber coax (HFC) solutions, enabling them to better serve customers implementing targeted FTTH deployments. The timing aligns with industry-wide fiber deployment acceleration as operators seek to deliver multi-gigabit services. By offering a unified architecture with managed transition capabilities, CommScope strengthens its competitive position against pure-play fiber equipment vendors while providing operators with simplified vendor management.
This collaboration enables the integration of CommScope’s PON and VBNG solutions and Altice Labs’ dual-density XGS PON technologies into one PON Evo suite of solutions, an innovative new option for service providers
CommScope’s PON Evo suite of products and vBNG Evo™ solution support a comprehensive, managed and orchestrated network transition strategy under a unified architecture. CommScope is integrating the Altice Labs line of advanced OLTs, software-defined network (SDN) management, and operational and business support systems into its existing portfolio.
As average revenue per user (ARPU) continues to decline, these benefits can facilitate migration from GPON to XGS-PON, and even 50G PON, all on the same infrastructure, with the integration of Altice Labs’ dual density XGS-PON SFP and dual XGS-PON SFP+ solutions, which significantly increases PON port density.
“By combining our existing virtual broadband network gateway (vBNG) and remote OLT solutions with Altice Labs’ technologies, we are now positioned to deliver a comprehensive and competitive FTTH portfolio giving our customers a single-source partner,” stated Guy Sucharczuk, SVP and president, Access Network Solutions, CommScope. “This expanded ecosystem is designed to meet the evolving needs of our customers as they deploy next-generation FTTH networks. These innovative PON solutions also expand upon our portfolio of hybrid fiber coax (HFC) solutions for customers who are implementing targeted FTTH deployments.”
“CommScope’s vBNG Evo solution is an excellent complement to our xPON technology,” said Joao Paulo Firmeza, general manager of Altice Labs. “This is a great mutually relevant collaboration whereby our offering is expanded with CommScope technologies, and they can now offer a full PON portfolio with the addition of Altice Labs’ technology. Together we create a formidable partnership aligned to meet our customers’ needs.”
