Dell’Oro Group Names Vecima Global Market Share Leader in Fiber-to-the-Home PON Remote OLTs for Fifth Consecutive Year

VICTORIA, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) today announced that Dell’Oro Group has ranked the company #1 globally for PON Remote Optical Line Terminals (R-OLTs), for both XGS-PON & 10G EPON, in its 2025 Broadband Access & Home Networking market share report, marking the fifth consecutive year Vecima has led in the Fiber R-OLT segment.

Broadband Service Providers deliver fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services using centralized equipment (OLTs) located in a data center or central office to manage data flow between the network and customers’ homes. A Remote OLT extends this capability closer to end users’ homes by placing that same intelligence deeper in the network, allowing operators to expand coverage more efficiently, reduce infrastructure costs, and deliver high-speed services to more locations with greater flexibility.

According to the March 5, 2026 Dell’Oro Group report, Vecima is the global revenue leader in Remote OLT devices, which enable Broadband Service Providers to deliver 10G fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services:

• The Entra SF-4X – the world’s most widely-deployed Remote OLT – can support 50G ITU PON and 10G-EPON or XGS-PON simultaneously on the same port for maximum investment protection and simplified Next-Gen PON migration; and

• The Entra EXS1610 All-PON™ Shelf supports 10G-EPON, XGS-PON, and Combo XGS-PON & GPON, combining simplified migration and scalability with operational simplicity for fiber-to-the-home deployments.

At SCTE TechExpo 2025, Vecima showcased the industry’s first 50G-PON migration path, supporting simultaneous operation of 10G PON and 50G ITU PON on the same optical port. With the SF-4X, Broadband Service Providers can deploy 50G-PON as needed, while preserving their investment and continuing to scale today’s 10G PON subscribers into the next decade.

Vecima recently announced a strategic, multi-year agreement with Spectrum, deepening its partnership and empowering Spectrum to evolve its fiber-powered connectivity network through multiple approaches. Further, Spectrum will continue its nationwide deployment of Vecima’s Entra PON Platforms, including the SF-4X Remote OLT.

To address the complexities of deploying and managing ITU PON networks at scale, Vecima’s Entra vPON Manager™ provides the provisioning, configuration, fault management, and analytics that form the cornerstone of modern PON access networks, within a unified, cloud-native management environment. The Entra vPON Manager integrates seamlessly with back-office management tools and employs a cloud-native microservices architecture that spans both integrated and disaggregated Vecima PON solutions.

Recognized by the 2026 Lightwave Innovation Reviews with a 4.0, the Entra vPON Manager “stands out for its innovative, cloud-native architecture that simplifies the management of PON deployments at scale,” according to Lightwave.

“Vecima’s continued leadership in Remote OLTs reflects the growing momentum behind Distributed Access Architectures as operators evolve their networks for higher capacity and greater operational flexibility,” said Jeff Heynen, Vice President, Broadband Access and Home Networking at Dell’Oro Group. “Their consistent market leadership highlights the strength of their portfolio, and the role DAA continues to play in enabling the industry’s transition to multi-gigabit broadband.”

“Maintaining global leadership in Remote OLTs for five consecutive years reflects the trust operators place in Vecima as they extend and modernize their broadband networks,” said Clay McCreery, Chief Operating Officer at Vecima. “With fiber access revenue expected to grow year-over-year through 2030, we are still in the early stages of this transition. Our focus on growing the fiber access business within our DAA portfolio will diversify revenue and contribute to durable, long-term earnings growth.”

“Our reliable, flexible, and simplified approach, combined with the Entra vPON Manager, enables operators to scale fiber deployments efficiently, building a modernized, AI-enabling network,” McCreery added. “As demand for multi-gig broadband and AI use-cases accelerates, we remain focused on helping operators capture this growth with confidence.”
