en.Wedoany.com Reported - Broadcom is advancing in both 50G PON and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) through new products and partnerships, aiming to help service providers ensure Quality of Service (QoS) for users over broadband and wireless connections.

According to Market Intelo data, the 50G PON market was valued at $3.2 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $18.6 billion by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.6% between 2026 and 2034. However, Dell'Oro notes that as services migrate from GPON to XGS-PON, operators have shifted focus from 10G speeds to reducing latency. This change is reshaping the PON roadmap, delaying mass adoption of 50G PON by three to five years.

Broadcom continues to advance its 50G initiatives, recently launching a 50G ITU-PON home gateway system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates a neural processing unit (NPU) and natively supports Wi-Fi 8, while also expanding its Wi-Fi 8 product portfolio with three highly integrated SoC devices. In the FWA space, Broadcom has partnered with Samsung Electronics to develop a cost-optimized reference platform that combines Samsung's B1320 5G modem with Broadcom's BCM6776 Wi-Fi 8 SoC, unifying 3GPP Release 17 connectivity with the Wi-Fi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn) standard.
