NG-PON2 Council

The NG-PON2 council was formed to centralize and disseminate the expertise and experience of the NG-PON2 market in order to facilitate the rapid deployment of NG-PON2 implementations

NG-PON2 characteristics

  • NGPON2 (TWDM) expansible from 40Gbps: 4 wavelengths @ 10Gbps per wavelength today moving to 8x80Gbps in future
  • Bonding capable: Multiple wavelengths may be channel-bonded to provide > 10Gbps services with standards work in progress
  • Symmetrical and asymmetrical bit rates to fit any service – Supports 10Gbps down per wavelength and 10Gbps up or 2.5Gbps up per wavelength
  • Tunable: ONU’s utilize tunable optical to dynamically tune to provisioned wavelength(s)
  • Coexistence: wavelength mux to combine NG-PON2 wavelengths to single fiber, and co-existence
    element to combine other technologies to single fiber with NG-PON2
  • Point-to-point WDM capabilities on the same infrastructure (4-8 wavelengths)

Impact for the industry & users

  • Converge all services for business, consumer, wireless-wireline on a single fiber network
  • Pay as you grow architecture: add lambdas as required
  • 10Gbps + service capabilities to any subscriber
  • Lower OpEx with use of tunable optics
  • Lower Latency than single wavelength systems
  • Bandwidth rebalancing by reassigning users to different wavelengths
  • Allows providers to deliver dynamic bandwidth to any subscriber at any time
  • Greater inherent reliability and availability with autonomous ONT re-tuning
  • Operational protection: move customers to another wavelength while fixing/resetting the card
  • Green: ability to turn off unnecessary CO PON cards at low traffic levels by reassigning wavelengths
  • NGPON2 (TWDM) can co-exist with point-to-point NG-PON2, XG-PON1, XGS-PON, GPON, EPON, 10G EPON, RF Video
