The 25G PON achieved real-world speeds of up to 21 Gbps, while the 50G PON reached 41 Gbps. With these results, Viettel becomes the first telecom operator in Vietnam to trial ultra-broadband technologies, keeping pace with leading global providers.
Mastering 25G and 50G PON is expected to bring significant benefits for both individuals and businesses. The infrastructure could enable new applications such as 8K video streaming and extended reality (XR). For enterprises, it provides a critical foundation for smart factories, digital twins and real-time remote control systems with near-zero latency.
While Viettel has yet to announce a commercial rollout timeline, it said that following further evaluations, it plans to introduce ultra-high bandwidth service packages ranging from 20 Gbps to 40 Gbps for specialized customer segments, while continuing research toward more advanced technologies such as 100G PON.
