A Technological Surge in Lisbon
In a show of technological prowess, Meo is transforming the landscape of connectivity at the Web Summit in Lisbon. This annual confluence of innovation sees the city resonate with the hum of technology as Meo deploys a staggering stretch of infrastructure. With three kilometers of optical fiber and forty-four kilometers of UTP network cable lacing the Summit, Meo is not just upgrading connectivity; it is redefining it.
Enhancing Network Density
At the heart of this transformation is Meo’s commitment to connectivity. Having bolstered the summit venues, Meo Arena and FIL, with 420 access points and 700 antennas, the operator is ensuring seamless and powerful connectivity for approximately 130,000 devices. But the story doesn’t end here.
Introducing 50G-PON: The Next Frontier
Today marks a milestone as Meo initiates the first real-world implementation of 50G-PON technology amidst the bustling environment of the Web Summit. This cutting-edge technology, a brainchild of Altice Labs, promises to enhance the existing XGS-PON capacity by five times, introducing unprecedented speeds and stability. This marks a critical leap in network technology, accommodating the burgeoning demands of modern connectivity.
A Robust Backbone for 5G Expansion
Strategically executed between Picoas and the Oriente district, the deployment of 50G-PON serves not just as a technology demonstration but a reinforcement of Meo’s 5G network backbone. The augmented capacity is expected to deliver remarkable stability in data transport, crucial to sustaining the ever-growing reliance on mobile networks.
The Promise of Future-Ready Networks
According to Meo, the rigorous testing conducted at the Summit validates both the functional and performance aspects of this new technology, which has been operationally challenged in a vibrant event setup. As the world pivots towards a more connected future, Meo’s endeavor sets a benchmark, proving that they are not only ready for tomorrow but are setting the stage for it today.
As stated in Alliance of Mediterranean News Agencies (AMAN), through its forward-thinking innovations, Meo is not just participating in the Web Summit; it is unwrapping the future of connectivity right in the heart of Lisbon.
