Development of XGS-PON Optical Line Termination Equipment Standardization for Broadband Fiber Access Networks in Indonesia

XGS-PON is the promising technology for broadband fiber access network provider due to the capability of sending 10 Gbps for downstream and upstream directions and can be implemented along with existing PON networks. Another advantage is meeting the high bandwidth demand for services such as HDTV, M2M, and the Internet of Everything. Although it has begun to be widely implemented, the regulation of telecommunications equipment standards in Indonesia for Passive Optical Networks (PON) is currently limited to G-PON and E-PON technology. This study aims to provide a reference to the technical specifications of the OLT XGS-PON for improving existing PON regulations. This study's technical requirements are the capability of nominal rate, wavelength range, and IGMP multicast group from the OLT XGS-PON device. The research obtained a reference to the nominal rate of XGS-PON with FEC at 8.5 Gbps for bidirectional service, the upstream wavelength range at 1260-1280 nm, the downstream wavelength range at 1575-1580 nm, and IGMP multicast group capability was 4096 groups in IPv4 network.
