AT&T announced Tuesday it finished open-source 10 Gbps XGS-PON field trials as part of a wider initiative to virtualize access functions over the last mile network.
The operator originally announced it would conduct 10 Gbps XGS-PON field trials last June. The purpose of the field trials, according to AT&T, was to create a foundation to support “all services on a single network, including 5G wireless infrastructure.”
