Low cost solution to high capacity 32 × 32 channel FTTH duplex link employing triple play services

Design and Implementation of a Fiber to the Home FTTH Access Network based on GPON

“…In addition, these networks have the ability to provide all communication services viz. voice, data and video from one network platform [33].…”

“…Several Time Division Multiplexing TDM PON technologies are standardized for FTTH deployments, Table 1 summarizes these standards with their important parameters [3], [15], [21], [33]. The main disadvantage of TDM PON is that it not possible for different operators to physically share the same fiber.…”

“…The voice component can be represented as VOIP service (voice over IP, packet-switched protocol) and can be combined with data component in physical layer simulations. Finally, the video component can be represented as a RF video signal (traditional CATV) or as IPTV signal that also can be combined with data [4] Different aspects of FTTH access networks have been discussed in literature, [1]- [10] address issues related to outside plant OSP, [11]- [14] consider the power efficiency of these networks, some issues related to the implementation cost associated with FTTH networks are discussed in [15]- [26], availability modeling of the networks are discussed in [27], [28], and [31]- [33] discuss issues and challenges related to next generation PONs. However, the results of these researches are suboptimal as they are not based on actual networks.…”
