G.Network and technology provider Xantaro have teamed up to trial how Nokia’s 25G PON equipment can be used to boost connectivity for London businesses.

The 25G test carried out in central London during March demonstrated symmetrical speeds more than double those currently delivered on the same fibre using XGS-PON technology.

“London is one of the most influential cities in the world, and yet it lags behind in terms of broadband speeds, especially for businesses,” said G.Network’s CEO, Kevin Murphy. “This test shows that our network can provide speeds that future generations of business will demand.”

Xantaro’s CTO, Steve Kingdom added: “Nokia’s 25G technology is perfect for high-bandwidth consuming businesses in London and across the UK and this trial has proven that forward-looking network operators can bring next generation technology to companies across the country”.
