"Fiber to the Curb" (FTTC) refers to the installation and use of optical fiber cable
directly to the curbs near homes or any business environment, Fiber to the curb
implies that a medium might carry the signals the very short distance between
the curb and the user inside the home or business.

WHY PON?
• APON:
– ATM based PON specification
– Designed by Full Service Access Network (FSAN) group
• BPON:
– Broadband PON standard ITU-T G.983.1 through G.983.10
– Up to 622 Mbps downstream and 155 Mbps upstream
• EPON (a.k.a. GE-PON):
– Ethernet based PON designed by IEEE 802.3ah.
– Up to 1 Gbps downstream and 1 Gbps upstream.
• GPON:
– Gigabit PON standard ITU-T G.984.1 through G.984.4
– Up to 2.5 Gbps downstream, 1.25 Gbps upstream
• XGPON-1:
– Gigabit PON standard ITU-T G.987.x Series for next Generation Passive Optical
Network (XGPON)
– Up to 10 Gbps downstream, 2.5 Gbps upstream
• Scalability:
– CO Equipment shared New subscribers added easily as the
network grows
– Bandwidth is shared Existing subscriber bandwidth can be
changed on demand
• Lifespan of fiber plant much longer than
copper
• Passive network between CO and customer
premises
– Drives down costs
– No active components, power supplies or batteries
– Right of way and easement benefits
like every other field, PON technology has its own terminology
• the CO PON concentrator is called an OLT
• ONUs are the CPE devices (sometimes called ONTs in ITU)
• the entire fiber tree (incl. feeder, splitters, distribution fibers) is an ODN
• all trees emanating from the same OLT form an OAN
• downstream is from OLT to ONU (upstream is the opposite direction)

Acronyms & Terms
downstream transmission
• OLT broadcasts data downstream to all ONUs on same PON port
• ONU captures data destined for its address, discards all other data
• encryption needed to ensure privacy
upstream transmission
• ONUs share bandwidth using Time Division Multiple Access
• OLT manages the ONU timeslots
• ranging is performed to determine ONU-OLT propagation time

• Physical Layer OAM
• Autodiscovery

• ONT Discovery
– OLT recognizes arrival of an ONT
– OLT discovers the Serial Number
– OLT assigns ONT_id to ONT
– ONU ID: between 0…253 for ONU (254 for broadcast)
• ONT Ranging
– OLT measures arrival phase
– OLT provides equalization delay
– ONT adjusts TX phase
• Services can be provisioned

T-CONT
GEM Port • Upstream Bandwidth
• Unit for multiplexing in GEM Management
• Data transferred through Ports • Complete re-use of G.983
between OLT and ONU • “ATM-like” QoS for TDM
• Corresponds to ATM VP/VC • “Tried and True”
• Interoperable
A Assured Bandwidth
• Always available when cells are
expected
N A • Can be used by other T-CONT, if has no
cells to send
Non-assured Bandwidth
• It is a higher priority bandwidth than B/E
N when A/B is assigned to T-CONT
• Assigned in proportion to Assured
Bandwidth
Best-Effort Bandwidth
• It is assigned if there is no other higher
B priority traffic (FXB,ASB,NAB).
• It is assigned up to the Maximum
bandwidth
• There is no assurance that the
Time

• GPON Fundamentals
• 10G/40G PON Overview
• Zhone GPON, NG PON Product Development
• NG–PON1: supports the coexistence with G–PON on the same ODN. The coexistence
feature enables seamless upgrade of individual customers to NG-PON on a live ODN
without disrupting services of other customers.
– Viewed as a Interim solution to get us to 10Gbps
– XGPON-1 (10Gigiabit capable PON) Based on TDMA is the solution
• NG–PON2: "Disruptive" NG–PON with no requirement in terms of coexistence with G–
PON on the same ODN.
– Will be the future long term solution for carriers
– Requirements for new technologies under consideration. (will be addressed later)
