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)

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)
GPON Additions in Work • IPTV over GPON • First Specification for standardizing IPTV service delivery mechanisms and requirements • TDM over a GEM only Transport • Establish QoS for TDM traffic in a GEM only Mode
