Standards Based PON Protocols

Standards Bodies That Have Specified PON Protocols International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T)

Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE)

Three Fully Ratified PON Protocol Standards Exist ITU-T Ratified BPON (G.983) & GPON (G.984)

IEEE Ratified EPON (802.3ah)

Non Compliant PONs are Proprietary


Major Members Of Full Service Access Network

(FSAN)

FSAN Recommends Standards to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU)


FiberPath GPON Network

GPON = 25 dB/20km/12.4 MilesOptical Line

Terminals (ONT’s)


Drivers for GPON Correction of BPON Limitations

Higher Speeds

Scalable to still higher speeds with the on-going decreases in optics costs

Recognition of IP Networking Evolution From ATM to Pure IP Transport

Platform for All Services Delivery Video - IPTV or RF

Voice - TDM or VoIP

Data

Platform Designed for Interoperability and lower operations costs Standards driven interoperability

No Active Powering Points in the access Network(FSAN committee has been working on GPON since mid 2001)


GPON Status and Time Line G.984.1 – Service Requirements

Transport speeds and feeds, tolerances and delays, etc Ratified by ITU-T in 01/03

G.984.2 – PMD – Physical Media Dependent Layer Link budgets by class, split ratios, etc

• Class B ODN – 10dB min to 25 dB Max loss Ratified by ITU-T on 01/03

G.984.3 – TC - Transmission Convergence Layer Transport Protocol Layer 1/04 : ITU-T Approved

G.984.4 – OMCI – ONT Management and Control Interface This specification lays the groundwork for interoperability. 1/05: ITU-T Approval (expected in Q4 2005)

G.983 (BPON) vs G.984 (GPON)

BPON supports only ATM cells GPON supports both ATM and GEM

Generic Encapsulation Mode (GEM) GPON GEM efficiency

Eliminated 8b/10b requirement 20% more efficient than EPON in carrying IP 5-10% more efficient then BPON Long term benefits towards lower cost equipment Support of packet fragmentation

Benefits: Can choose solution that delivers lowest cost over time. Clear migration path to an all IP network


PON Standards - Summary GPON (G.984) improvements over BPON (G.983)

Efficiency: dual mode support of ATM as well as Ethernet frames

Scalability: more economical means of achieving high speeds

Lower costs because of relax timing requirements and common optics with EPON

Supports TDM and Ethernet Interfaces at the OLT GPON Values

Similar Cost points to BPON Architecture/Platform that will migrate with the operator,

without requiring forklift upgrades Standards driven for interoperability


PON Protocol Standards Matter Reliability & Availability Mass Adoption/ Lower Costs/ Greater Flexibility

ITU Is The Dominant Standard GPON is the dominant PON protocol standard

• SBC, BellSouth, Bell Canada, Verizon, International PTTs • Most Bandwidth = Most Revenue Potential

Flexible & Cost Effective Transition to All IP Network
