Vianet launches Nepal’s first 2 Gbps Internet based on XGS Fiber Technology

KATHMANDU, MARCH 24: Vianet Communication, a leading internet service provider, has lately announced the launch of Nepal's first multi-gig Internet connection based on the latest XGS fiber technology, the 2Gbps XGS- Extreme package. 

The XGS-PON which stands for 10 Gigabit Symmetrical Passive Optical Network, is the latest fiber-optic broadband technology that delivers up to 10 Gbps download and upload speeds. "Currently, Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology is the primary method used for Internet distribution which has a maximum download speed of 2.4 Gbps and an upload speed of 1.2 Gbps. While this may be sufficient for general users, extreme users require higher bandwidth, especially high upload speeds.," states a press release issued by the company. 

  "XGS-PON fulfills such a need by providing symmetric upload and download speeds of up to 10 Gbps. ​​​​​​​ So, Vianet Communication has chosen this technology to provide Nepal's first 2Gbps internet service. It enables the customers to experience lightning-fast download and upload speeds, seamless streaming, and superior gaming performance."

 With the latest launch, the company is said to be to be future-ready for applications such as virtual reality, high-resolution video streaming, simultaneous streaming from multiple devices, and cloud computing.
