Next-Generation Broadband Access Networks

This tutorial first describes the current evolution in time-division multiplexed (TDM) passive optical networks (PON) from today’s commercially available 2.5-Gb/s TDM PONs to the newly standardized 10-Gb/s TDM PONs. The second part of the tutorial focuses on the diverse set of PON technologies under consideration for standardization beyond 10 Gb/s. Article not available.
