CityFibre and Vodafone have completed a trial of 2Gbps residential services in York by upgrading the network to XGS-PON access technology.

. The XGS-PON upgrade improves CityFibre’s network performance and service offering, enabling almost ten times the capability of its current G-PON based architecture.

It enables CityFibre to upgrade its network while also supporting more customers on each OLT port.

This is due to be rolled out as standard across CityFibre’s footprint from April 2023.

Michael Greening, Product Director at CityFibre, said: “At 2Gbps, we’re barely scratching the surface of our network’s capabilities. Thanks to our XGS-PON upgrade programme, we’ll be able to offer symmetrical speeds of up to 10Gbps in the future.”
