Requirements / Wish list

High Client Count & Passive Reach
Central-office consolidation

Per-client capacity scaling for combined backhaul and access

Up to (and beyond) 1 Gb/s for residential access Higher for 3G, 4G backhaul and business access (GbE, 10GbE)

ODN migration and co-existence

Migration from currently deployed (X)G-PON Co-existence with deployed (X)G-PON

CapEx / OpEx
Cost-effective CapEx Power consumption and OLT form factor

Technical complexity
Direct detection vs. coherent heterodyne detection (UDWDM-PON) 10G high-power TRX vs. 1G medium-power TRX

most discussed solutions in FSAN

WDM-PON and hybrid TDM/WDM-PON (TWDM-PON) WDM-PON variants
filtered (Wavelength-Routed) infrastructure power-split infrastructure (Wavelength-Selected)

WDM-PON technologies
tunable lasers (self-) seeded reflective devices (RSOA, REAM, IL-FP lasers) direct detection (DWDM-PON) or coherent heterodyne detection (UDWDM-PON)

WDM-PON receivers can be based on per-wavelength, dedicated access (WDMA) or shared access (primarily TDMA, also SCMA, CDMA, OFDMA) is possible

RN1 Tuning

MZM T-LD

ONU

Limited per-client capacity and transparency Optimum for migration and co-existence Client Count: very high number per feeder fiber Passive Reach: Limited due to high-power-budget transceivers Backhaul: Not suitable due to bandwidth sharing OpEx: Higher density and lower power consumption in the OLT
