Today, considering all the than ten years of experience with active and new services like high definition IPTV, online passive optical networks and debates about gaming and remote surveillance, ICT service their advantages and disadvantages have been providers are well advised to seek access running for that long at the very least. Fibre network solutions with even more bandwidth optic networks can be laid directly to house- for the post-DSL era. However, due to the holds (Fibre-to-the-Home [FTTH]) by using physical properties of copper wire in the last Passive Optical Networks (PONs) and Active mile, VDSL2 has reached its limits, even if Optical Networks (AONs).

As a result, copper). To date, the only solution for seem- most end customers did not require more ingly infinite bandwidths has been the optical bandwidth (i.e. more than ISDN was capable of wave guide, also called fibre optics. at the time) till the beginning of the new millennium. The subsequent escalation of bandwidth, fuelled by the availability of broadband DSL connections via copper wire, has turned the Internet and associated services into an unpar- 1.

Passive Optical Networks (PONs) The first active optical access networks used As regards the core network, the first network TDM technology. The first passive optical element of a PON network is the OLT (Optical networks on the other hand used ATM for voice Line Termination Unit), that provides n x 1 Gbps and data traffic (APON, BPON, ITU-T Standard and n x 10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces to the core G.983). Because early PON systems could network and the PON interfaces to the sub- already transmit a TV broadcast signal on a scriber. The PON types used here today are separate wavelength in the optical spectrum, usually Ethernet-PON (EPON), Gigabit-PON simultaneously to the voice-data signal, they (GPON) or Gigabit-Ethernet-PON (GEPON). were popular in cable TV networks. The Ethernet technology is the common denomina- topologies of PON and CATV networks are also tor in all these technologies. Nowadays, very similar to one another, so existing cable EPON installations tend to occur more in the lines, or ducts can be used and costs saved in Far East and GPON more in the USA and the network rollout. The objective of both Europe. Consequently, we will be looking at PON and AON is to get the fibre optics as the GPON-type (ITU-Standard G.984) below. 2008-05-26 © KEYMILE 2008 Page 3

If copper wire is used for the last mile, an optical network unit (ONU) can be used instead of the optical network termina- tion in the PON, which then provides interfaces such as POTS, ISDN or DSL. In this case, the network architecture is a Fibre-to-the-Curb (FTTC) connection. All PON subscribers receive the same optical signal at the end of the fibre optics. The personal allocation of data is carried out via a time multiplex procedure, i.e. each subscriber receives their own time slot to transmit and receive. Synchronisation of the right user time slot is carried out in the ONT. 2008-05-26 © KEYMILE 2008 Page 4
