• 25G PON is the fastest, greenest and most cost-effective way to deliver multi-gig and 10G+ residential services.
  
  

27 May 2025

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced the launch of a new 25G PON high-density line card designed to deliver mass market, multi-gig, residential broadband services that users expect from a premium broadband experience. Supporting a diverse range of PON technology options, the new solution provides operators with a cost-effective way to deliver true 10Gb/s broadband services in a cost-effective way.

"We're helping operators deliver unbeatable multi-gigabit experiences today with our new 25G PON solution. It combines speed, scale, and efficiency — giving service providers an efficient path to new revenue streams, without having to rethink their entire network," said Geert Heyninck, General Manager, Broadband Networks at Nokia.

 

"Being able to cost-effectively scale multi-gigabit and true 10Gb/s services across their entire residential subscriber base is critical for service providers in increasingly competitive broadband markets. The ability to offer the highest speeds, and handle high-peak traffic demands with the lowest latency and jitter is how providers will stand out from the crowd and keep subscribers happy," said Jeff Heynen, Vice President, Broadband Access and Home Networking at Dell'Oro Group.

 

Expanding Nokia's comprehensive 25G PON portfolio, the new line cards can be paired with Nokia's fiber modems to provide a future-proof, cost-efficient, end-to-end solution for mass market 25G PON residential and enterprise service deployments. Today 20 operators, including Google Fiber, and Hong Kong Broadband are using Nokia's proven 25G PON technology to address demand for faster broadband speeds.

 

"Fiber is a strategic asset that ensures our network can scale and adapt to changing customer needs. The ability to seamlessly upgrade from GPON to XGS-PON and now 25G PON, along with our unique coexistence technology, reflects our commitment to staying ahead of the curve. 25G PON strengthens our competitive position, enabling us to deliver high-speed, future-proof connectivity for businesses and an expanding base of residential customers who increasingly depend on fast, reliable broadband for cloud services, gaming, and immersive digital experiences," said Veronica Bloodworth, EVP and Chief Network Officer at Frontier.

Murray Hill, New Jersey and San Mateo, California – Nokia and Celesta Capital today announced that Astranu, a company transforming hearing care through next-generation imaging technology, has officially spun out from Nokia as part of a collaboration to accelerate the commercialization of innovative technologies. This marks the inaugural venture launched through the collaboration between Nokia and Celesta Capital.

 

Astranu leverages proprietary integrated Optical Coherence Tomography (iOCT) technology developed by Nokia Bell Labs and aims to dramatically transform ear diagnostic care through advanced, non-invasive, high-resolution 3D imaging. The iOCT technology brings high performance imaging into the world's most cost-effective OCT system, providing instant, high-accuracy imaging of middle-ear conditions and hearing response. This has the potential to address critical healthcare gaps by helping to reduce incidences of misdiagnosis, unnecessary referrals, and significantly reducing the reliance on costly and invasive exploratory surgery and imaging techniques such as CT and MRI scans.

 

Through the spin out, experienced healthcare technology executive Trevor Hawkins, PhD, joins Astranu as CEO, bringing decades of leadership in successfully scaling healthcare and diagnostic startups. iOCT co-inventors Michael Eggleston, PhD, and Bibek Samanta, PhD, who incubated and developed the technology to commercial readiness at Nokia Bell Labs, will help support Astranu in this next phase.

 

Nokia Bell Labs, Nokia's award-winning industrial research arm, will continue to support Astranu with vital laboratory resources and R&D expertise, reaffirming their commitment to fostering innovation with real world-impact.

 

"Astranu reflects Nokia Bell Labs' approach and commitment to nurturing groundbreaking innovations from early-stage research through commercialization. Astranu's revolutionary imaging technology holds transformative promise for healthcare, and we're proud to support their journey," said Mike Chen, Vice President of Ventures at Nokia.

 

Celesta Capital's involvement brings strategic direction, commercialization support, and substantial industry networks vital for rapid market adoption of Astranu's technology.

 

"We are excited to partner with Nokia in spinning out Astranu, which represents the ideal convergence of innovative technology and high impact healthcare applications. Celesta's experience in scaling deep technology ventures uniquely positions us to help Astranu navigate the complex dynamics of establishing and scaling a successful technology business," said Sriram Viswanathan, Founding Managing Partner at Celesta Capital.

 

Achin Bhowmik, PhD, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Engineering for hearing technology company Starkey, will join the Company's Board of Directors. "Astranu's imaging technology offers the potential to deliver high-resolution insights at the point of care," said Dr. Bhowmik. "I look forward to supporting the company's journey and helping explore ways this technology can advance patient outcomes."
