Migrating from GPON to XGS-PON and NG-PON2
Broadband technology and broadband markets are constantly evolving. Service providers need an optical distribution network (ODN) which not only supports today’s requirements for data, video and voice with QoS, SLA agreements and security, but also tomorrow’s requirements. Today bandwidth scalability from GPON (2.5 Gigabit downstream/1.25 Gigabit upstream) to XGS-PON (10 Gbps upstream and downstream) and even NGPON2 (40 Gbps upstream and downstream) services are... -
Introduce for WDM/OTN Latency
Introduce for WDM/OTN Latency What does WDM mean? WDM stands for wavelength division multiplexing, a technique used to send multiple channels of data over the same cable in fiber-optic transmission. Fiber-optic cables transmit data via pulses of light, which contain a range of wavelengths or colors. WDM enables each pulse to carry data from different sources on multiple wavelengths. With WDM, a single fiber... -
