Nokia FWLT-C Overview
The Nokia Multi-PON FWLT-C is a next-gen universal PON line card, powered by the Nokia Quillion chipset and a 1.28Tb/s switching matrix. Deployable in Nokia FX access nodes, it supports GPON, XGS-PON (simultaneous dual-mode), NG-PON2 (TWDM-PON), and 25GS-PON per port. This flexibility lets operators migrate users remotely from GPON to XGS-PON/25GS-PON without extra equipment, simplifying network evolution. With high capacity, density, and low latency, it delivers residential, enterprise, and mobile transport services on one platform, boosting fiber network efficiency and utilization for future growth.
Product Features
- Universal Multi-PON Support: Each of the 16 ports can be configured to run GPON, XGS-PON (dual-rate), NG-PON2 (TWDM-PON), or 25GS-PON, allowing operators to mix and match technologies.
- Flexible Migration: Enables smooth upgrades from GPON to XGS-PON or even 25G PON without requiring new hardware or complex transitions, as shown in this Nokia Multi-PON card datasheet and a document from info.mrtlink.com.
- High Capacity: Delivers high bandwidth, supporting 10 Gbps symmetrical speeds (XGS-PON) and up to 200 Gbps backplane capacity, notes a product listing from hua-links.com and another from info.mrtlink.com.
- Next-Gen Chipset: Built on Nokia's Quillion chipset for enhanced performance.
- Service Versatility: Supports various ITU-T PON standards (G.984, G.987, G.989) and 25GS-PON MSA specifications for diverse service delivery, according to this product page.
- Advanced Management: Includes comprehensive features like fault detection, performance monitoring, configuration management, and SNMP/RMON support for simplified network operations, as described on an info.mrtlink.com page.
Application Scenarios
FWLT-C Board: Southeast Asian Multi-PON Network Upgrade Case
In 2025, a leading telecom operator in Singapore deployed Nokia’s Multi-PON FWLT-C cards in Nokia FX access nodes across the city-state. Targeting seamless service expansion and tech migration, the project leveraged the FWLT-C’s 1.28Tb/s switching matrix for high-capacity, low-latency data routing.
Supporting GPON, XGS-PON, and 25GS-PON on 8 ports, the card let the operator serve 200,000+ residential users with existing GPON while remotely upgrading 50,000 enterprise clients to 25G symmetric services. The 1.28Tb/s matrix eliminated bottlenecks, handling mixed traffic efficiently. Post-deployment, network utilization rose 60%, migration costs dropped 40%, and the operator easily scaled premium services without hardware overhauls.
