Fios on speed: Verizon is already in the process of upgrading its Fios network to a technology called GPON or gigabit passive optical network, which will quadruple the capacity of the network. Wegleitner said this upgrade should give the company enough capacity to satisfy customers' needs for at least another three to four years. After that, he said, the company is already testing new technologies, such as 10GPON and another called Wave Division Multiplexing or WDM, which splits the light on each fiber to provide one wavelength per household. The verdict is still out on which technology the company will use, but the ultimate goal is to eventually deliver 100 megabits per second to any device in the home.
Sp the technology to offer higher speeds is in the works. |
