Hey, network operators, connect everyone everywhere!
Think about how communication networks have evolved over the past few decades. Homes have gone from a land-line telephone and dial-up internet to numerous connected devices, streaming services, and home offices, all essential to everyday life. And with emerging AI and 6G (to name a few) technologies, it’s almost impossible to imagine what we’ll be saying about broadband application as a utility in another few years. Things change fast in our world. And there are innumerable connections that make these changes possible.
Whether you’re rolling out service to new subscribers, transitioning your network from GPON to xGPON, preparing for 6G and the influx of capacity demands from AI-based technology, your outside plant network is always adapting and changing. But unlike the core, keeping pace with the changes can be incredibly costly and time consuming. With skilled labor shortages and increasing costs, there’s more pressure on technology to keep cost-per-home-passed down and flexibility and simplicity up. In fact, several financial, technical, and even social pressures weigh on your connectivity choices.
Climate
Dramatic weather patterns & unique terrain demand ruggedized protection
Government Funding
Terms may require in-country sourcing of solutions
Skilled Labor
Intuitive & easy-to-use solutions are preferred to keep it simple for installers of any skill level
Aesthetics
Residents insist on small & unobtrusive equipment in their neighborhoods
Cost
Modular solutions ensure you can add services when the demand requires

Your architecture, your way
To ensure everyone has access to reliable internet, our solutions are developed to support a variety of network architectures: centralized, distributed, distributed tap, wireless, and more. Each approach has unique benefits and drawbacks.
At Go!Foton, we are always searching for a better, more efficient and effective way to build networks. Go!Foton has also introduced Decentralized Split Architecture that combines the strengths of existing models while minimizing their drawbacks. This new approach has the potential to revolutionize FTTH deployments with faster installation times, reduced costs, and simplified maintenance. We invite you to learn more!
Decentralized Split Architecture reduced overall project costs by 80% in a 128-home neighborhood!
The savings were attributed to smaller cabling requirements, reduced materials, and a near-elimination of splice labor costs.
Connectivity that is as unique as you are
While the cost of connectivity may be fractional compared to optical fiber and labor, connectivity is just as essential an ingredient for delivering broadband. Connectivity enables the information flow and ultimately the consumer experience. And making the right choice in connectivity impacts network operators’ ability to:
- Scale operations, adding network capacity
- Manage network capacity for growth with modular solutions
- Easily manage and maintain networks with technician friendly designs for field work
- Run and break out high-speed connections when and where they are needed
