چکیده

This paper provides insights on the status of broadband optical access market and technologies in Europe and on the expected trends for the next generation optical access networks. The final target for most operators, cities or any other player is of course FTTH (Fibre To The Home) deployment although we can expect intermediate steps with copper or wireless technologies. Among the two candidate architectures for FTTH, PON (Passive Optical Network) is by far the most attractive and cost effective solution. We also demonstrate that Ethernet based optical access network is very adequate to all-IP networks without any incidence on the level of quality of service. Finally, we provide feedback from a FTTH pilot network in Colmar (France) based on Gigabit Ethernet PON technology. The interest of this pilot lies on the level of functionality required for broadband optical access networks but also on the development of new home network configurations. key words: FTTH, PON, point to multi point access, broadband access networks, European business models

Improving Data Transport over High-Speed Networks

Modern society is becoming increasingly dependent on high-speed communication networks for instant access to information. People now make banking transactions, monitor news and weather, play interactive games, listen to music, and watch real-time video and sports over the Internet. Highspeed broadband access is required to facilitate many of the above applications. Similarly, scientific experim...

Digital Switchover: An alternative solution towards broadband access for all citizens

The paper anticipates that the actions to be taken concerning the Digital Switchover (transition form analogue to digital broadcasting – DSO) in UHF are of strategic importance for the European Member Countries and most candidate ones, as long as DSO arises as a possible and complementary solution towards the deployment of Broadband Access Infrastructures, especially in less favoured regions. T...

Special Section on Next Generation Broadband Access Technologies

Existing broadband access systems include ADSL over metallic wires, optical media converters, B-PON, GE-PON, and G-PON systems. Recent innovations such as the higher speed systems of 10G-PON, 10GEPON, and WDM-PON are receiving a lot of attention, and low cost and mass production technologies for high speed wide bandwidth systems should be developed. New optical access network architecture also ...
