“…They are capable of providing much greater bandwidth than their copper-based alternatives resulting in much more efficient way of handling a potential increase in demand volumes in the future. Simultaneously, these networks allow keeping the necessary expenditures (both CAPEX and OPEX) at a reasonable level in comparison with the competing (EPON, Active Ethernet and optical P2P) technologies (see, e.g., [6,17]). …”

We propose a mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation for a problem of optimal dimensioning of equipment of the fiber-to-the-home optical access network (FTTH-OAN). The optimization aims at minimizing capital expenditures (CAPEX) related to deployment of the FTTH-OAN, i.e., the cost of active equipment (OLTs and OLT cards), cost of passive equipment (optical splitters, cables, fibers, fibers terminations, splices, closures), cost of site preparations (building, cabinets), and cost of necessary labor (duct preparation and rollout of cables). The formulation has been implemented and validated. General results based on selected real-world scale numerical experiments are presented.

“…Both standards dedicate 1490 and 1310 nm for downstream and upstream transmission, respectively, with 1550 nm reserved for downstream video transmission. EPON is capable to support a maximum of 32 optical network units (ONUs), having symmetrical data rates of 1.25 Gbps at distances up to 20 km [4]. Unlike EPON, GPON can support up to a maximum of 128 ONUs for distance up to 60 km, and data rates of up to 2.5 Gbps [5].…”

The authors demonstrate an implementation of hybrid fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) and free space optical (FSO) technologies as another alternative solution to bring lightspeed performance to the residential users. A simulation experiment was performed with a 20 km single-mode fiber spanning from the Central Office to 1:32 splitter, before the signal propagated through the air to FSO receivers which were individually equipped with an Optical Network Unit (ONU). A downstream performance of the video signal transmitted at 1550 nm wavelength with a bit rate of 1 Gbps was studied under different weather conditions. The results show that for an acceptable bit error rate of 10 −9 , 32 ONUs are supportable at a combined FSO: FTTx distance ratio of 20:4.8, 20:2, and 20:1.4 km during clear weather, average and heavy rain, respectively.

“…WiFi is more mature than WiMAX, but it has a relatively small coverage range of only 100 m and a lower bit rate of 10-50 Mb/s. Despite these limitations, WiFi is more widely used for access today than WiMAX due to its maturity [3].…”

“…Thus instead of sharing 50 Mb/s over all subscribers, DSL can provide 50 Mb/s to each end user. DSL is capable of 50-Mb/s transmission for loop lengths less than 300 ft, but can only provide 10 Mb/s over 10,000 ft [3].…”

We review recent progress on all-optical virtualprivate-network (VPN) schemes in passive optical networks (PONs). PON is a promising candidate in future access areas to provide broadband services with low cost. With all-optical virtual private network (VPN) function, PON can support efficient internetworking among end users with dedicated optical channels, thus enabling guaranteed bandwidth and enhanced security at the physical layer. Here, we discuss and compare existing schemes of all-optical VPNs in time-division-multiplexed (TDM) PONs, and also recently proposed schemes for deployment in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) PONs and two-stage TDM/WDM PONs.
