摘要:
Recently, several new technological advancements have extended the capabilities of the basic Broadband Passive Optical Network (B-PON) described in ITU-T standard G.983.1. This article describes three of these new technologies: wavelength division multiplexing, dynamic bandwidth assignment, and survivable networking. These additions to the B-PON family of solutions increase its utility by increasing its raw capacity, its efficiency, and its reliability, respectively. A brief description is also given of the next wave of innovations that will further extend B-PON.
