Source: FTTH Handbook, Edition 8, Feb 2018

FTTH Solution based on NG-PON2

NG-PON2 (ITU-T G.989) will support multiple 10G wavelengths

• Optical Network Unit has tunable upstream laser as well as a tunable receiver

• 4 wavelengths (10G/2.5G per wavelength, total 40G/10G) in the downstream,

with an option of up to 8

• Up to 4 wavelengths in the upstream

• Possible symmetric configuration: 40G/40G or 10G/10G

• RF overlay at 1550nm is not affected by NG-PON2

Source: FTTH Handbook, Edition 8, Feb 2018

• Dedicated wavelength per user

• Typically 32 users

• Requires 32/64 colours

• No real standards

channels

Each user receives

one channel

“Real” WDM PON

• 4-8 channels, each carrying a “normal” PON

• Users subscribed to one of the channels

• Requires extra filters, add complexity

• Wavelength per operator

Service Provider’s regard the CPE as demarcation point for their services and termination of the FTTH line

•2 major types of CPE approaches, depending on the service offering

•ONT (Optical Network Termination)

Terminates incoming fibre and provides Ethernet Interface(s) towards the

subscriber

•Residential Services Gateway

Combined ONT and Service termination

• Mostly Voice/Data combinations

• Routing

• Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)

• Security and firewall

• Integrated VoIP and

• Quality of service capabilities

Summary

• Fibre to the Home is the future-proof architecture in the Next Generation

Access (NGA) networks, as a key enabler for Gigabit Society.

• More than 280 Million subscribers have FTTH/B access over the world, which

will significantly increase in next 5-10 years.

• Different FTTH technologies are based on optical fibre communications.

• Both active and passive infrastructure of FTTH benefits from photonic

technologies.
