Asia-Pacific operators are leading the world in the transition to next-generation PON, analysts say.

What we re seeing now in the region is a very strong shift and a very clear shift toward 10G, said Jeff Heynen, Dell Oro VP for broadband access and home networking.
There was a clear trend line of new 10G ports of all kinds as operators look to expand their gigabit offerings, he said.

Vecima Networks has acquired the intellectual property (IPR) that ATX Networks has developed for a Generic Access Platform (GAP) node enclosure that can support an array of standardized service modules that will snap in like Lego bricks.
The general driver here is to accelerate the market for a GAP node based on standards being developed by an SCTE/ISBE working group involving a mix of vendors and suppliers. The GAP node, a project largely being championed by Charter Communications, is focused on a common node enclosure outfitted with standardized interfaces for modules powering multiple access network technologies, including DOCSIS, PON, 4G/5G, mobile backhaul services and, potentially, edge compute.
