PON Type of FTTH

 

To better know about the hot topic “The Best Last Mile Solution-PON” about Fiber to the home (FTTH),it would be a great idea to collect full details of PON information, including about all types of PON solution: APON, BPON, EPON(10G-EPON), GPON(10GPON) and WDM PON related technology service knowledge & development history.

 

APON

Though it is rarely appear in our current fiber network project, APON (ATM PON) is the first PON system that achieved significant commercial deployment with an electrical layer built on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).

 

BPON 

As we know, BPON (Broadband PON) is the enhanced subsequence of APON, with the transmission speed up to 622Mb/s. At the same time, it added the dynamic bandwidth distribution, protection and other functions. APON/BPON systems typically have downstream capacity of 155 Mbps or 622 Mbps, with the latter now the most common. 

 

GPON / 10GPON

As one of the most competitive “The Best Last Mile Solution”, GPON (Gigabit PON) is based on the TU-TG.984.x standard for the new generations of broadband passive optical access. Compared with the other PON standards, GPON provides the unprecedented high bandwidth downlink rate of up to 2.5 Gbit/s, the asymmetric features better adapt to the broadband data services market. 

 

It provides the QoS full business protection, at the same time carries ATM cells and (or) GEM frame, the good service level, the ability to support QoS assurance and service access. Carrying GEM frame, TDM traffic can be mapped to the GEM frame, 8kHz using a standard frame able to support TDM services. 

 

As a carrier-grade technology standards, GPON also provides access network level protection mechanism and full OAM functions. GPON is widely deployed in FTTH networks. It can develop into two directions which is 10 GPON and WDM-PON.

EPON / 10G-EPON

Like the super heroes of the Hollywood movies, EPON (Ethernet PON) is the rival activity to GPON which uses Ethernet packets instead of ATM cells. EPON/GEPON uses 1 gigabit per second upstream and downstream rates. It is a fast Ethernet over PONs which are point to multipoint to the premises (FTTP) or FTTH architecture in which single optical fiber is used to serve multiple premises or users. EPON is an emerging broadband access technology, through a single fiber-optic access system, to access the data, voice and video service, and it has a good economy.

 
 

WDM-PON

WDM-PON uses multiple optical wavelengths to increase the upstream and/or downstream bandwidth available to end users. WDM-PON uses wavelength division multiplexing technology to access to the passive optical network. It has four programs as following: 

 

1. Each ONU is assigned with a pair of wavelength, for uplink and downlink transmission, thereby providing the OLT to each ONU fixed virtual point-to-point bidirectional connections. 

 

2. ONU uses tunable lasers, according to the needs of the ONU to dynamically allocate the wavelength, and each ONU can be shared the wavelength, the network are reconfigurable. 

 

3. Using colorless ONUs, the ONU are independent from the wavelength.

 

4. Using a combination of TDM and WDM technology, Composite PON (CPON). CPON uses WDM technology in the downstream, and TDMA technology in the upstream.
