Worldlink decides to upgrade its FTTH network to 10Gbps XGS-PON

As we are all familiar with Worldlink since it is the largest ISP in Nepal, we have some news about it. As we know it has an FTTH network in the present situation, it is now planning to upgrade to the XGS-PON. Here, we will discuss Worldlink XGS-PON in detail.

What is XGS-PON?

PON stands for Passive Optical Network. It is a telecommunications technology employing fiber-optic to transfer data from a single source to multiple endpoints. And the XGS-PON is an upgraded standard for PON to handle up to 10GB of data transfers.

You can enable symmetrical data transmission in both upstream and downstream directions via this technology which will mean there will be the same upload and download speed for you.

Current System

As of now, Worldlink has GPON or Gigabit Passive Optical Network technology for data transmission. There is a difference in the upload and download speeds of the transmission where the highest upload speed measures 1.25Gbps and the download measures 2.5Gbps. This means that when the new system takes over, it will also meet the rising bandwidth demand. In addition, there is a lower latency in the technology where the internet connections will be provided to 256 users which is almost double when compared to the 128 people on the current system.

Testing and Launch

According to the news, Worldlink is all set to upgrade to set its system from the GPON to XGS-PON technology. Worldlink is even planning to upgrade the current FTTH network clients to the new XGS-PON network from next week.

And to top it off, now you can have internet connections with a speed faster than 1Gbps which might be very helpful for some people. To note, Worldlink isn’t planning to stop here but will soon start testing the 25G-PON soon while collaborating with Nokia.

Apple MacBook Pro: A 13-inch Beast with an M2 chip

Apple introduced a 13-inch MacBook Pro on the market a few months back. The device brings a powerful M2 chip for performance. Here, we will discuss the specs, features, availability, and the expected price of the Apple MacBook Pro M2 13-inch in Nepal.

Apple MacBook Pro (M2) Overview

M2 Chip

The new Apple MacBook Pro brings a powerful M2 chip for performance. This is an octa-core processor with four high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores. It is built upon Apple’s second-generation 5nm process with over 20 billion transistors. This is 25% more when compared to the M1 chip.

Likewise, for graphics, there is a 10-core processor instead of the 8-core as we saw in M1. This means that the M2 chip precedes the M1 with 18% improvement on CPU, 35% in GPU, and 40% in the Neural Engine respectively. And to top it off, you can see 50% more memory bandwidth on the device and up to 24GB of unified memory when compared to the first-generation chipset.

Further, while we are on the subject, the M2 processor is also the winner over the 10-core Intel Core i7-1255U processor with 16GB memory by 1.9 times. And the media engine on the chipset boasts up to 8K H.264, HEVC, ProRes encode/decode, and has also increased the bandwidth to playback multiple 4K and 8K streams.

Display and Design

Moving on, there is a 13.3-inch Retina IPS screen with 2560×1600-pixels resolution and TrueTone support. It also supports the P3 color gamut and brings a Touch Bar on top of the keyboard. The latter makes the laptop Apple’s first to bring such a feature. Likewise, there are two color configurations here – Space Grey and Silver.

Rest of the specs

Furthermore, you can see two USB 4/ Thunderbolt 3 ports, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity. And if you wish to connect the laptop to an external display, you can have a single display up to 6K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate.
