  2. Overview • Introduction to PON: • What? How? Where? Why? • Recent Developments • Issues • Challenges ITCOM 2003

  3. Access: Fiber To The X (FTTx) Operation System Passive Optical Splitter FTTP Service Node Internet FTTH ONT Optical Fiber Leased Line FTTB ONT VOIP OLT ONU NT FTTC PSTN Twisted Pair ONU Video FTTCab NT xDSL PON System FTTH :Fiber To The Home FTTB :Fiber To The Building FTTC:Fiber To The Curb FTTCab :Fiber To The Cabinet ITCOM 2003

  4. Passive Optical Networks • A single fiber is used to support multiple customers • No active equipment in the path  Highly reliable • Both upstream and downstream traffic on ONE fiber (1490nm down, 1310nm up). OLT assigned time slots upstream. • Optical Line Terminal (OLT) in central office • Optical Network Terminal (ONT) on customer premisesOptical Network Unit (ONU) at intermediate points w xDSL OLT ONT ITCOM 2003

  5. Broadcast Video Over PON • Analog or Digital Video on 1550 nm ONT ONT OLT Downstream ONT Upstream GBE E1 SDH 3 WavelengthsOn One Fiber Existing or New Coax • MPEG/DVB-C • GBE • E1 • SDH ITCOM 2003

  7. Why PONs? • Reduced OpEx: Passive network • High reliability  Reduced truck rolls • Reduced power expenses • Shorter installation times • Reduced CapEx: • 16 -128 customers per fiber • 1 Fiber +N transceivers vs N Fibers + 2N transceivers • Increased Revenue Opportunities: Multi-service: Data, E1/T1, Voice, Video • Scalable: • CO Equipment Shared  New customers can be added easily as the network grows • Bandwidth is Shared  Existing Customer bandwidth can be changed on demand ITCOM 2003

  8. Types of PONs • APON: Initial name for ATM based PON spec.Designed by Full Service Access Network (FSAN) group • BPON: Broadband PON standard specified in ITU G.983.1 thru G.893.7 = APON renamed • 155 or 622 Mbps downstream, 155 upstream • EPON: Ethernet based PON draft being designed by IEEE 802.3ah. • 1000 Mbps down and 1000 Mbps up. • GPON: Gigabit PON standard specified in ITU G.984.1 and G.984.2 • 1244 and 2488 Mbps Down, 155/622/1244/2488 up ITCOM 2003

  9. Telecom Developments Bad News: • Telecom companies have had their fair share of economic downturn • Number of employees has gone down • Carriers no longer can support active electronics in the field Good News: • Telecom winter is overSpring is finally here • Component prices are going down • Metro/Access Ethernet is taking offPON provides an ideal solution ITCOM 2003

  10. PON Developments • GPON recommendations G.984.x are out.EPON draft is progressing fast. • FCC removed fibers from unbundling • SBC, Verizon, Bellsouth issued an RFP in USA • Carriers in Japan and Europe are seriously investigating FTTH • Most big telecom vendors in US were caught off-guard with no PON equipment • Most action in Access than in Core or Metro • Venture Financing for PON is up • Several PON companies received funding this year • Over 800 Communities in USA are investigating fibers to home using PONs • Fiber-to-the-Home Installations Expected to Reach Approximately One Million by 2004 [FTTH Council] Conclusion: 2004 will be the year of PON ITCOM 2003

  11. Technology Issues • EPON vs BPON and GPON • Ethernet vs ATM • Future vs Present • Low cost due to high-volume Recommendation: BPON for existing environment Standard-based EPON for new installations • 155 vs 622 vs 1250 Mbps • Four 155 PONs shared by 32 subscribers each vs One 622 PON shared by 32 subscribersHigh-speed justified only if IP video or high-speed data services • Current DSL offerings are in Kilobits to a few Mbps • Technology alone does not make deployment • Business case will emerge only with CLECs ITCOM 2003

  12. Service Issues • Services: Triple-Play – Voice, Video, Data • Quad-Play – Voice, Video, Data, and TDM (T1/E1) • T1/E1 is important to maintain legacy servicesLeased lines are big revenue for ILECs • Recent VOIP protocols help in providing voice services but not so much in TDM • Need enhanced QoS • VOIP Service vs POTS: • In-house equipment is assumed to be POT in both cases • Signaling/ringing, power source/battery backupCentralized with copper, localized with fiberEasier with older technology but extra cost with fiber • VOIP offers numerous new features including multiple phone numbers per household. Significant impact on social behavior ITCOM 2003

  13. Summary • 2004 will be the year of PONs • PONs reduce OpEx and CapEx for carriers and increase carrier revenue opportunities with value-added services • BPON for today and EPON for today and onwards • Multi-service support in next-generation EPON products is a key differentiator. • EPON products need to offer quad-play: Data, voice, video, and TDM to be effective ITCOM 2003

  14. PON Organizations • FSAN, fsan.mblast.com/default.asp • ITU-T, www.itu.int • IEEE 802.3ah, www.ieee802.org/3/efm/ • PON Forum, www.ponforum.org • FTTH Council, www.ftthcouncil.org • Ethernet in the First Mile Alliance (EFMA) www.efmalliance.org ITCOM 2003
