“…Additionally, the next-generation access (NGA) network based on optical fiber should be passive to reduce the overall cost. Recently, network service providers have begun to deploy time-division-multiplexing passive optical networks (TDM-PONs) such as broadband PON (B-PON), ethernet PON (E-PON), or gigabit PON (G-PON) [2]. However, the guaranteed bandwidth and quality of service (QoS) provided by these PONs might not be enough to satisfy the increasing bandwidth requirements of future video-centric services with high-definition TV (HDTV) quality.…”

“…The conventional PON standards provide encryption or data scrambling methods, but there is no common encryption mechanism for GE-PON leading to the implementation of proprietary mechanisms. Leaving this issue unresolved will hinder the future deployment of the GE-PON system [16], [17]. …”

Yukihiro FUJIMOTO †a) , Member SUMMARYA significant growth in FTTH access rates has been seen in the last year. This paper overviews the deployed FTTH access systems and the recent application of Ethernet technologies. The standardization activities and further study issues are also discussed. key words : FTTH, Ethernet, point-to-point, B-PON, GE-PON IntroductionThe number of the high-speed Internet access users, those with broadband access, has reached 20 million. Of particular interest is the significant growth introduction number of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) access users. Commercial FTTH in Japan started in 1997 and provides residential planeold-telephone-service (POTS) and CATV signals transmission by using a combination of synchronous-transfer-mode (STM) passive optical network (PON) [1] and sub-carrier modulation (SCM) PON [2]. The main purpose of this deployment was to replace old metallic pairs with optical fiber access systems, however, the monthly subscription charges of POTS and CATV signal transmission could not, initially, cover the cost of system deployment.In 2001, a 10 Mbps bandwidth shared PON system [3] and a two-fiber point to point system were started for small business customers and multi-dowelling unit customers. Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) systems for residential users have had their transmission speed upgraded every six months; the current speed is over 50 Mbps in the downstream direction. With regard to the monthly subscription charges, they have been significantly reduced over the last five years. The competition between the multiple ADSL access service operators has sparked the remarkable growth in ADSL user number. However, the metallic pair's attenuation with access loop length restricts the maximum transmission speed, users who want stable access have moved to FTTH access. From operators' viewpoint, the capability of FTTH allows the provision of more advanced broadband applications, which are new revenue sources for the operators. Currently, in addition to telecom operators, major power utility companies and DSL service operators are providing FTTH access. The heavy competition among broadband access services is driving operators to deploy higher transmission speed systems, from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps, and to provide their services with very low subscription charges. Consequently, the number of new FTTH users has exceeded one hundred thousand per month and the total number reached three million in June 2005 (Fig. 1). This paper overviews the FTTH access systems deployed for broadband Internet access services. Detailed system features are covered from the viewpoints of Ethernet technologies and standardized specifications. Issues for further study with regard to FTTH access systems are also discussed. Overview of FTTH Access SystemsFTTH access systems for broadband Internet access services consist of both Point-to-point and PON systems. The roadmap of these systems is shown in Table 1.The point-to-point system uses two fibers or one fiber between an OLT and ...
