Apelsin.Net: the first provider in Kyiv with 10G XGS-PON technology

In a world where the quality of the Internet is becoming critical not only for business, but also for everyday life, Apelsin.Net has taken a step that has set new market standards. In November 2023, the provider became the first in Kyiv to introduce XGS-PON technology — a new generation of optical Internet capable of providing speeds of up to 10 Gbps. It was thanks to this launch that tariffs with speeds of up to 3000 Mbps for private users appeared in Ukraine — an offer that did not exist before.

The introduction of XGS-PON technology was the result of the company’s long-term development strategy aimed at providing customers with the most modern digital solutions. This technology is based on the development of GPON, which provides unprecedented stability and reliability of communication. Thanks to this connection, users receive the same speed of data download and upload.

The development of the XGS-PON infrastructure required significant investments in the modernization of network equipment and the training of technical specialists. The company invested in the most modern solutions that allow to provide not only high speed of the Internet, but also its impeccable stability even at peak load.

Today, Apelsin.Net works for thousands of subscribers in Kyiv and the region: from residents of residential complexes and the private sector to enterprises and critical infrastructure facilities. The company emphasizes innovation, stability and service, which involves personal support for each client.

Main technical advantages of XGS-PON for users

The first large-scale example of the implementation of the new network was the connection of the Comfort Town residential complex in December 2023. This task required infrastructure modernization, equipment upgrades, and training of technical specialists. Thanks to the system approach, Apelsin.Net managed to ensure the stability and scalability of the network, making it ready for future loads.

XGS-PON technology offers unique advantages for users. New generation optics provide speeds of up to 10 Gbps, guaranteeing minimal delays. These advantages are especially noticeable during online games and video conferencing.

Key technical characteristics of XGS-PON:

1. Maximum data transfer rate — 10 Gbps.
2. Symmetrical connection for upload and download.
3. Low latency thanks to direct-attach optics.
4. Network scalability for future upgrades.
5. High signal stability regardless of weather conditions.

The implementation of this technology allowed the company to solve numerous challenges faced by users of traditional networks: unstable connection during peak hours, limited data upload speed, and the inability to simultaneously use high-speed Internet on multiple devices.

The impact of XGS-PON on the development of small and medium-sized businesses

In the market, the provider attaches particular importance to transparency – the speed specified in the tariff corresponds to the one that the client actually receives. The support model is also important: each subscriber is assigned a manager, and the service works around the clock. The company fundamentally refuses to compromise in the choice of equipment, investing only in high-quality solutions that guarantee stability in the long term.

For small and medium-sized businesses, the implementation of XGS-PON opens up new development opportunities. High Internet speed makes it possible to work effectively with cloud services, conduct high-quality video conferences and quickly exchange large files. The technology is especially useful for IT companies, design studios and media agencies.

XGS-PON Business Benefits:

• Increase productivity through fast access to digital solutions.
• Ability to work with large databases without delays.
• Effective interaction with customers through high-quality communication.
• Saving time on downloading and transferring files.
• A reliable foundation for implementing innovations in business.

Apelsin.Net actively cooperates with representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, developing special tariff plans that take into account the specific needs of each industry. By modernizing the network, we managed to create flexible solutions for different types of enterprises.

How we overcame the challenges of implementing XGS-PON

After the successful implementation of XGS-PON in the capital, Apelsin.Net is focusing on expanding coverage in the suburbs of Kyiv and creating multi-gigabit solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. A separate direction is the development of infrastructure, which will become the basis for future digital services.

The implementation of the new technology was accompanied by numerous challenges. The main ones were the need to modernize the existing infrastructure, train qualified personnel and ensure continuity of services during the transition to the new technology. The Apelsin.Net team systematically approached the solution of each of these tasks.

The modernization process included a phased replacement of equipment, testing of new connections, and training of personnel to work with new generation optics. Particular attention was paid to ensuring the stability of services for existing customers during the implementation of innovations.

What stages did Apelsin.Net go through:

1. Analysis of the existing network infrastructure and modernization planning.
2. Purchase and installation of equipment for XGS-PON technology.
3. Training of technical specialists in working with new optics.
4. Phased testing and optimization of the network.
5. Launch of commercial services and monitoring of communication quality.

In 2025, the company received the Ukrainian Business Award, which is considered one of the most prestigious business awards in the country. The competition is held annually, is open to participants from all regions and collects hundreds of applications from Ukrainian enterprises and entrepreneurs. The selection of laureates takes place in several stages: from checking data and financial indicators to evaluating innovations and the final vote of the jury, which includes recognized experts in their fields.

Receiving this prestigious award was a recognition of the company’s successful strategy for implementing advanced technologies and quality customer service. The jury especially noted innovations in the field of telecommunications and the company’s contribution to the development of the digital infrastructure of Ukraine.

Thus, the story of Apelsin.Net is not just the story of a provider connecting subscribers to high-speed Internet. It is an example of how a local company, thanks to innovation and a systematic approach, can set the tone for the entire industry and receive national recognition.

Today, Apelsin.Net’s XGS-PON technology sets new standards for the quality of Internet services in Ukraine, demonstrating how successful digital solutions can transform not only business, but also the everyday lives of users. The company continues to invest in network development and expanding the benefits of modern optics for all customers.
