Tim accelerates innovative solutions for the development of the fiber optic network in Italy. The company led by Luigi Gubitosi brings the program "Amici" on TV with lto FTTH fiber (Fiber To The Home) with speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second. The first reality in Italy to adopt this technology which will test the super speed in front of millions of viewers from Saturday 27 March 2021. The first cities to benefit from it will be Rome, Turin and Genoa.
In detail, the new solution is made possible by the adoption of the XGS-PON network technology which allows in symmetrical mode (in download and upload) to travel up to 10 Gigabits per second.
After a test phase, TIM will give customers and other wholesale operators the opportunity to test the service on their own network for the first time in the cities of Rome, Turin and Genoa. In this way, TIM is further expanding its range of solutions to meet customers' growing connectivity needs.
In particular, the connection based on XGS-PON technology, implemented by TIM in collaboration with Nokia, makes the most of the physical characteristics of the optical fibre, multiplying the capacity of the current FTTH GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Networks) network by four times in download (from network to customer) and 8 times in upload (from client to network).
“This further record – he declared Quang Ngo Dinh, Head of Consumer Market at TIM – confirms our commitment to anticipate innovative solutions for the development of the fiber optic network in Italy. Like TIM, we are ready to offer the XGS-PON solution in some Italian cities to ensure our customers ever faster connections that enable the best user experience of digital services: from online gaming to the use of entertainment content up to applications for firms and industrial districts”.
