PON in the Data Center & Premise

Dell’Oro Group’s PON in the Data Center & Premise Advanced Research Report delivers 5-year forecasts for PON OLT ports and ONT/ONU units across residential, enterprise, and data center environments, including FTTR, Optical LAN, and data center PON deployments, with regional and worldwide market trends.

Research scope

This evolution is reflected in the growing adoption of fiber deeper into residential premises (FTTR), enterprise environments transitioning toward fiber-based LAN architectures, and the use of PON for out-of-band management and infrastructure management in data centers.

This report focuses on quantifying the adoption of PON technologies across these emerging deployment scenarios, with detailed forecasts for OLT ports and ONT/ONU units supporting residential FTTR, enterprise optical LAN, and data center PON use cases.

Why it matters

PON is increasingly being evaluated by service providers, enterprises, and hyperscalers alike as an alternative to traditional copper-based and Ethernet-based networks. PON provides low-power point-to-multipoint architectures that can help reduce operating costs while still delivering high bandwidth and low latency connections.

Critical questions

To take advantage of the opportunities associated with the extension of fiber into and throughout homes and businesses, component and equipment manufacturers, cable operators, and financial institutions will find answers to critical business questions, including:

What are the primary business drivers and use cases for extending fiber connections into and throughout homes, business, and data centers?
Which ISPs will use fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) to differentiate their residential fiber services and how successful will they be?
How quickly will hyperscalers, neoclouds, and colocation providers adopt PON technologies for their out-of-band-management (OOBM) and data center infrastructure management (DCIM) applications?
Will hyperscalers transition to 25 Gbps and 50 Gbps PON to support higher split ratios and increasing traffic in their infrastructure management applications?
