With the gradual improvement of the global gigabit broadband urban application scenario, more and more users demand gigabit. According to Omdia, the number of gigabit users worldwide will exceed 150 million by the end of 2022 and 400 million by 2027. With the rapid development of gigabit users, the optical communication market has an increasing demand for high-speed broadband large-capacity transmission, more flexible network deployment, high efficiency and energy saving products with high link budget. At the same time, the gigabit intelligent optical network needs to transform from the "gigabit" connection capacity of bandwidth to the "gigabit" service capacity of bandwidth + experience, to meet the needs of the development of gigabit services in the digital age. At present, the gigabit optical access network uses 10G GPON+ Gigabit gateway +WiFi6 technology to fully realize the capability of "end-to-end gigabit fixed network". With the experience dividend of scene broadband, the market value of PON+ thousand lines and all industries is displayed. In the future, the PON network will continue to evolve to 50G, and the development of 50G PON technology needs to be further standardized. Facing the speed upgrade of PON network, the 50G PON optical module industry is still in the initial stage. How can the PON system improve the low-delay technology to achieve multi-point collaborative networking, and how to control the intelligent gateway to improve the network experience?

Based on this background, CIOE will invite three major carriers, PON equipment manufacturers and optical module manufacturers to work together with upstream and downstream to promote the development trend of gigabit intelligent broadband access network and the future 50G PON key technology research.
