Altice Portugal, the owner of MEO, has demonstrated in the past its ability to bring technologies to the established Internet that have transformed the sector. It now claims to be the first to introduce technology that “revolutionizes the speeds available on the Internet, providing symmetrical experiences”.
In a statement, the company revealed that it was the first to introduce the technology XGS-PON For all customer segments through a pilot project. This is an Internet that promises consistent, symmetrical Internet speeds that far exceed current speeds.
This technology will cover customers who are resident and commercial in nine Portuguese cities: Aveiro, Braga, Castelo Branco, Évora, Faro, Leiria, Lisbon, Porto and Viseu. The goal is to “ensure decentralization of technology deployment, testing in different contexts and project enrichment.
This project was developed by Altice Labs in coordination with Altice Empresas and MEO. It claims to be “the latest XGS-PON optical network technology that will revolutionize consistent internet speeds in Portuguese homes and businesses”.
