PLDT has successfully tested the latest and fastest Passive Optical Network (PON) technology that can provide 50Gbps speeds for its equipment ports in a bid to develop better connectivity speeds through its entire network.
PLDT is the first carrier in the Philippines to successfully test 50G Passive Optical Networks (50G PON) technology. The company previously tested XGS PON in 2021, and the latest 50G PON offers five times faster speeds than XGS PON and 20 times faster speeds than GPON.
"This advancement is crucial for PLDT's fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) service nationwide. This new technology further ensures that we can provide the best and fastest service to homes nationwide," said PLDT in a statement.
