New high speed home internet to connect residential complexes in Moscow with XGS-PON in the near future

In 2024 MTS intends to link new housing developments to ultra fast internet. This progress is supported by results from pre commercial tests conducted at a Moscow contact center and shared by the digital ecosystem’s press service.

Vladislav Medvedev, the technical director for MTS in the Moscow region, notes a steady rise in information traffic on RuNet. On average, traffic grows about 20 percent each year, with video streaming and online gaming accounting for roughly 65 to 70 percent of that activity.

Forecasts from MTS point to gigabit home internet becoming a basic requirement within the next couple of years. They expect demand to rise for speeds as high as 10 gigabits per second through XGS-PON technology within the next five years. To accommodate growing subscriber needs, MTS plans to begin connecting residential complexes in Moscow to the XGS-PON line starting next year. The company is engaging with developers to bring this technology to market.

Looking ahead, the belief is that next year XGS-PON will enable households in Moscow to support a large number of devices and services that generate substantial traffic without slowing down the network.

Medvedev describes this shift as a technological breakthrough that will reach modern homes in the coming years. The tests involved installing XGS PON optical line terminals at a node within the backbones of Moscow’s fiber optic network near a major transportation hub. On the distribution side, XGS PON optical network terminals were tested. The equipment demonstrated seamless data transfer with upstream and downstream speeds reaching 10 gigabits per second.

The company states that XGS PON fixed internet technology can deliver up to 10 gigabits per second per subscriber. That is ten times faster than networks based on the current GPON standard. The technology also makes it possible to connect modern Wi Fi 6 routers to the optical network with wireless speeds ranging from five to ten gigabits per second.
