ZTE unveils the prototype of the industry's first Optical Network Unit (ONU) supporting 50 Gigabit passive optical networking (50G PON) and Wi-Fi 7 technologies at the upcoming FTTH Conference 2022 in Vienna, Austria.The new ONU, model ZXHN F9746Q, is another achievement in the field of 50G PONs following the launch of its industry's first accurate 50G PON prototype during Mobile World Congress 2022 in Barcelona.50G PON is a new generation PON technology that supports a multitude of application scenarios.The ZXHN F9746Q ONU uses asymmetric 50G PON technology on the network side, with the receiving speed reaching 50Gbps and the transmission speed reaching 25Gbps.From the user's point of view, the ONU provides a 50G Ethernet optical port to meet the high-speed access requirements of small and medium-sized businesses.To better take advantage of the capabilities of the 50G PON network, the device is also equipped with a MediaTek Filogic Wi-Fi 7 chipset.As a result, it provides four spatial streams in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands, respectively, enabling a theoretical maximum rate of 19 Gbps and a four-fold increase in connection speeds compared to ONUs. They only support the Wi-Fi 6 standard.With these capabilities, the ZXHNF9746Q enhances the high-bandwidth multi-device connectivity that future home and business scenarios will require.Incorporating MediaTek's proprietary Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and Xtra Range technologies, ZTE's ONU greatly enhances the user experience of high-bandwidth services over a relatively long distance.A metal casing allows it to better dissipate heat while running high-speed applications, making the device more reliable.Save my name, email, and website in this browser the next time I comment.This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.Learn how your comment data is processed.Use this QR code to install the app on your iPhoneUse this QR code to install the app on Android
