The monetization vision was based on NG-PON2’s capabilities - 2014
▪ PON has supported non-residential applications/customers since 2006 (perhaps earlier).

▪ Consequently, monetization models were designed focusing on NG-PON2’s capabilities:
From 2014:
Revenue Scenarios using North America ARPUs (2014)
CSPs (communications service providers) want an
access solution with higher bandwidth and enough
flexibility to also support large enterprises and
fronthaul.
TWDM PON fulfills this role and provides pay-as-
you-grow options, allowing realistic adoption of
FMC (fixed–mobile convergence) throughout the
access network.
In addition TWDM PON enables efficient sharing of
the FTTx network, whether mandated by regulatory
authorities or chosen by CSPs through co-
investment partnerships.
The TWDM PON architecture facilitates FTTx
network monetization with its support of high-
revenue services over the same ODN (optical
distribution network) as residential subscribers.

Segment 2: Component Market update (Part 1)
10:05 – 10:25 NG-PON2 Standardization and beyond
Denis Khotimsky DMTS, Verizon
This talk examines the specific complexities of NG-PON2 as a multi-wavelength PON system, analyzes the standards landscape, including the recent
and perspective advancements in NG-PON2 specifications, such as the optical ER vs Tx tradeoff, N2 power budget parameters, S/R-CP parameter
specification, ONU Tx parameter relaxation. It then proceeds with a discussion of the requirements for the next steps in higher-speed PON
standardization.
10:25 – 10:45 NG-PON2 Optics and Photonic Integration Approaches

Hal Roberts System Engineer and Architect, Calix
The first wave of NG-PON2 optics have been based on conventional bulk free-space optical modules. Photonic Integrated Circuits have always been
considered a promising method of producing lower cost NG-PON2 optics, however the upfront development costs and timeframe have prevented these
from being realized during early optics development. Recently promising work has begun on PIC based NG-PON2 optics. This presentation will examine
how PIC based NG-PON2 optics might accelerate the availability of standards compliant lower cost optics.
10:45 – 11:05NG-PON2 ONU w / pluggable CATV overlay solution

Ben Hur Senior Managing Director, Lightron
Based on the experience of developing 10G / 10G NG-PON2 ONT, NG-PON2 technology can be evolved into various applications by introducing the
development of NG-PON2 triplexer product with CATV overlay function/solution in the form of XFP Pluggable Optic. The NG-PON2 triplexer developed
product of this announcement provides compatibility to various platforms of NG-PON2 and provides the best solution for various additional application
fields.
11:25 – 11:45 Access finally has wavelength flexibility

António Teixeira co-founder/prof, Picadvanced/UA
This presentation will focus on technical challenges to be overcome and some compromises (and have) to be made to foster broad market adoption to
happen sooner than later. PICadvanced, in this work, will present the current status of its solutions and the results of its production units which, given
the facts, that is based on DML and fast thermal control in both Tx and Rx, show great potential to open the road to broad adoption of the standard.

• Possibility to restore service in case of card failure in 50 ms
• Bonding
• Possibility to increase the maximum service rate available on the PON through aggregation
of wavelength channels without upgrading the system itself

A glimpse of history
The term NG-PON2 has been is

use since at least 2007!
• Long before the system took shape
• For half of the time its semantics has differed from what we know
today.
74
2007 FSAN view (from Middletown meeting report)
• The NG-PON study includes the following two varieties.

NG-PON1 NG-PON coexisting on same ODN as GPON based on G.984.5 approach
NG-PON2 “disruptive” NG-PON with no requirement to coexist on same fibers as GPON
75
75
Evolution of the concept
Original concept prevailed while NG-PON1 systems were specified:

o XG-PON1 – Asymmetric 10/2.5G TDM/TDMA – ITU-T series G.987 (2010)
o XG-PON2 – Symmetric 10/10G TDM/TDMA was shelved
Specific NG-PON2 study:

o Project initialized in the Fall of 2010
o Operator requirements White Paper: April 2011
o Vendor technology White Paper:
• First CFC – June 2011
• Version 1.0 – April 2012
76
NG-PON2 Technology selection
Vendor Technology White Paper (June 2011 – April 2012)

– 40G TDM PON
– TWDM PON
– WDM PON
– OFDM PON
Quoting the FSAN meeting report from April 2012:

Operators reviewed the remaining in-scope solutions and agreed to
include the following in any future studies:
– TWDM-PON as a primary NG-PON2 solution
– With support for (tunable) WDM overlay if needed

Standardization of Higher-Speed PON systems
• Earlier this year ITU-T initiated several new Higher-Speed PON projects
-- G.hsp.req – System requirements
-- G.hsp.comTC – Common TC layer
-- G.hsp.50Gpmd – PMD layer for single channel 50G TDM system
-- G.hsp.TWDMpmd – PMD layer for a multi-channel tunable TWDM system
90
Verizon position on HSP standardization
• An Higher Speed PON system being specified and to be deployed around 2022 should aim at
sustaining bandwidth demand growth for the subsequent ten years (that is, the overall
capacity of several hundreds Gigabit per second)
• An HSP specification should focus on what is needed, rather than what can be specified
• The new HSP system should be cognizant of legacy deployment and use these as building
blocks
• The tremendous operational advantages of NG-PON2 should be carried forward -- Non-

service-affecting activation and maintenance
-- Line card protection
-- Wavelength mobility (load balancing, rogue mitigation, OLT power savings)
-- Higher service rate through channel bonding
• Build off NG-PON2

Thank you.
NG-PON2 Optics and Photonic
Integration Approaches
The first wave of NG-PON2 optics have been based on
conventional bulk free-space optical modules. Photonic
Integrated Circuits have always been considered a
promising method of producing lower cost NG-PON2 optics,
however the upfront development costs and timeframe
have prevented these from being realized during early
Hal Roberts optics development. Recently promising work has begun on
System Engineer and PIC based NG-PON2 optics. This presentation will examine
Architect how PIC based NG-PON2 optics might accelerate the
Calix availability of standards compliant lower cost optics.

What is a PIC?
Photonic Integrated Circuit (also called ‘Integrated Optics’)
▪ A PIC contains two or more optical components on a single substrate
▪ Light is guided by waveguides on the substrate, rather than through free
space with lenses
▪ The Externally Modulated Laser (EML) is a very simple example of a PIC
▪ A more complex example would be a full transceiver on a single substrate
Courtesy PICadvanced

Free Space vs. Integrated Optics?
This? Or This?
General Rule of Thumb

▪ The larger the number of individual optical components…
▪ …the more PICs become attractive
Why?
▪ Each optical component in a free space chain must be aligned to each other
▪ Lenses required to collimate and focus light along chain
▪ Optical losses accumulate
▪ Assembly becomes larger and may require larger package (XFP vs SFP)
▪ Leads to high manufacturing cost and potential fallout
Disadvantage to PICs
▪ Large upfront cost, long development time and requires high volume to justify 98

Summary
Photonic Integration may lower costs for complex TWDM optics
Two major approaches are being pursued:
▪ Monolithic InP – Full transceiver possible on a single chip, but chip real
estate must be reasonably small to be cost effective
▪ Hybrid Silicon + InP – Low costs of Si substrate must be balanced against
the costs of adding and aligning active InP elements

Access finally has wavelength flexibility
Next Generation Passive Optical Networks 2 (NG-PON2) has challenged the
traditional way of treating access real state, the wavelength, by introducing high-
resolution tunable devices with the tight, 100GHz, channel spacing. This ITU path
brought an extra dimension to the access space allowing flexible management of
the network, opening windows to smooth pay as you grow deployments,
coexistence with all present and close future technologies, as DWDM. This seems
great, however, it pushed the current optical technologies, like GPON, which had
wavelength freedom of tens of nm to tenths of nm (100GHz); from fixed
wavelength to tight control tunable wavelength, and from 2.5Gbit/s to 10Gbit/s x
Antonio Teixeira 4 (or more). To solve this, great technical challenges had to be overcome and even
some compromises had (and have) to be made to foster broad market adoption to
CTO & Founder happen sooner than later. PICadvanced, in this work, will present the current
PicAdvanced status of its solutions and the results of its production units which, given the facts,
that is based on DML and fast thermal control in both Tx and Rx, show great
potential to open the road to broad adoption of the standard.

 Transmitter: +4dBm output power, wavelength shift, TDP
Note: All above options have been evaluated. The best ONU TX approach will be discussed.

ONU Laser Technologies for NG-PON2
It is noticed that the DML wavelength distribution per wafer is similar as the EML. The DWDM
packaging of the DML is also the same as EML packaging. The overall cost of DWDM DML package
is not significant lower than that of the EML.

ONU modules can meet higher power and better wavelength shift of by using EML+SOA.

Tradeoff between OLT and ONU
 Current OLT BM Rx can support Class N1 w/ margin, but the yield is low to meet the
N2 -31.2dBm spec.
 The OLT sensitivity need to be improved for N2 application in mass production.
 The current commercially available BM TIA is not good enough for NG-PON2. New
NG-PON2 OLT BM TIA is needed to further improving the recovering time.
It is suggested that to meet Class N2, or Class E1 link budget, the best approach is
to apply ONU transmitter with higher ER (>8dB）.

 OLT TRX has been delivered about 10Kpcs in 2017

 ONU TRX has been delivered in thousands so far

Cost Reduction Trend
As of today, PON have been deployed widely and reached about >70Mpc per year. In the past
ten years, the PON module price dropped to 1/10 with increasing demand and cost reduction. It
is expected that the trend will be the same for10G PON and NG-PON2.

Conclusion
 NG-PON2 can provide super bandwidth for fixed access and 5G mobile
applications.
 N1 type of NG-PON2 modules can be delivered in volume.
 The major issues to affect the yield of N2 modules are the receiver
sensitivity and BM recovering time. These issues are being solved with the
improvement of the key components.
 The cost of the NG-PON modules will be reduced further, with the volume
increasing, the improvement of the yield and production efficiency.
A novel tunable, high power, high yield, low cost ONU laser is under
development by the major laser suppliers. It is expected that the new laser
will be available in 2018, which will help the performance increasing and
cost reduction.

Discussion on Low Cost
NGPON2 ONU Solution
Based on DML
NG-PON2 G.989.2 Amendment 2
• Lower cost DML path to ONU optics compliance: ER vs Power
• Increase allowable ONU Laser turn on time (from 12 ns to 128
ns)
• Allow ONU transmitter to exceed specified power penalty as
long as transmit power is increase accordingly
DML Solution Analysis (1/4)
• Laser Power
Can reach +5dBm in the range 0℃~+70 ℃,
• ER
Can achieve 6dB in the range 0℃~+70 ℃
--- easy to satisfy the standard requirement.

•TOSA structure
Conventional DFB TOSA + Temperature control (TEC,

thermistor, etc.)
•Cost
Compared to EML + SOA solution, DML (DFB) is cheaper.

•Wavelength shift (TX spectral Excursion)
Comparison:
EML + SOA: SOA works as a shutter
DML(DFB): Operating current is around 40-50 mA
EML: LD operating current for LD is around 100mA
There are some hardware/firmware methods to reduce the wavelength

shift.
More Close Look at Wavelength Shift
• DML Wavelength shift (Spectrum extension)
caused by direct modulation mode
• DML wavelength blue shift in burst mode
• Wavelength shift of DML in an ONU may not be
solved easily even if Cooled DML
Is there any ONU

solution with low
cost Uncooled
DML?
Quote from "25G DML Wavelength Shift Measurement for 25G EPON ONU Wavelength Shift Estimate with Burst Mode" by M. Li, H. Zhang, J. Zheng, AOI
•ONU LD Wavelength
Currently not so many commercial 1532nm-1536nm DFB
available → the cost is high.
•Dispersion
Since the ONU LD wavelength is defined at C band, TDP is
high, need high performance DFB → the cost is high
-- The cost is the key for NGPON2 commercial deployment!

Can we consider
other available
DML solution

13:10 – 13:30 NG-PON2 Interoperability: Challenges and solution.

Zigi Putnins DMTS, Verizon
This talk identifies the NG-PON2 interoperability challenges that need to be addressed, and discusses the role of Verizon
OpenOMCI and Open NETCONF/YANG specifications to solve these challenges. It follows with an overview of the Verizon NG-
PON2 interoperability verification program that has been running for nearly a year and a half in Waltham, MA, and discusses the
results achieved so far along with the plans for 2018.
13:30 – 13:50 NG-PON2 for radio access network

Jun Terada Senior Research Engineer, NTT
NG-PON2 supporting radio access network of 5G/5G+ is presented as a new market of NG-PON2. Requirements for mobile
network and a new interface for low latency transmission are explained and a demonstration is introduced.
13:50 – 14:10 NGPON2, Convergence and OSP Architecture

Erik Gronvall VP of Service Provider Strategy and Networks, CommScope
NGPON2 brings great advantages and opportunities to service providers. With this consideration need to be made for OSP
design with introduction of NGPON2 and wireless/wireline/IOT/business services convergence. The importance of flexibility
throughout the OSP and requirements for power for edge devices adds complexity to the engineering of networks.
14:10 – 14:30 “Evolution of FTTx Networks in a Mobile World”

Kevin Bourg Director, Optical Network Architect, Corning
The convergence of both wireless and wireline technologies is becoming widely accepted as the future-ready platform to meet all
subscriber needs. With NG-PON2 technologies evolving the bandwidth capabilities of fiber networks, ensuring the right
infrastructure is in place in the passive plant is paramount. The level of densification 5G networks demand will necessitate a fiber
network so prolific
195
Segment 3: ECO System overviews and applications (Part 2)
14:30 – 14:50 Driving access network convergence through next-generation PON and SD-Access
Ryan McCowan Director Product Management, Adtran
As operators push more and more fiber deeper into the network to support a range of residential, enterprise and x-haul
services, the need for access network convergence is greater than ever. By combining leading access technologies like
NGPON2 with SDN-based programmability, operators are now able to build highly programmable and scalable converged
access networks. This presentation will cover the use cases driving convergence and the best practices for implementing
these converged, SDN-controlled access networks.
14:50 – 15:10 Challenges and Solutions for an NG-PON2-based Fronthaul

Luca Valcarenghi Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa, Italy
The New Radio Access Architecture (New RAN), as defined by 3GPP in TR 38.801, features the disaggregation of the next
generation node B (gNB) into a Distributed Unit (DU) and Central Unit (CU). The distribution of functionalities between CU
and DU impacts the characteristic, in terms of capacity and latency, that the CU-DU connection (i.e., the fronthaul) shall
guarantee. This presentation shades some lights on the suitability and on the attentions to be taken when an NG-PON2 is
utilized to carry fronthaul traffic.
15:10 – 15:30 The Effect of Virtualization on PON Architectures and Hardware

Ed Boyd, CTO and Cofounder, Tibit Communications
Today’s PON systems are massively integrated and application specific systems that, in addition to the PON functions,
contain multiple layers of switching and traffic management. PON systems are becoming virtualized and the impact on
system hardware is subtle, yet significant. In this presentation we will compare the integrated and virtualized architectures
and explore the advantages of virtualized PON.

Lessons Learned
NG-PON2 – third generation of PON systems in Verizon
▪ BPON deployment commenced in 2005: Tellabs, Motorola
▪ GPON deployment commenced in 2008: Alcatel-Lucent, Motorola
▪ NGPON2 deployment commencing in 2018: Calix, ADTRAN
Does after-the-fact Interop work?

▪ Vendor builds business case assuming deploying both OLT and ONT (closed system)
▪ No inherent motivation for standards compliance
▪ Even if a vendor claims standards compliance, many standards support
▪ Optional items
▪ Vendor-proprietary extensions
which leads to standards-sanctioned non-interoperability
▪ Even if a vendor develops, in good faith, a standards-compliant product, there is not real way to verify compliance as part of
black-box (closed system) ONT/OLT testing
200
Going forward: NGPON2
NGPON2 RFP issued at the end of 2015

▪ Interoperability requirements formulated upfront and are applicable at day one of deployment
▪ Cost models for complete system, as well as individual components
▪ Vendors agree to compliance with Verizon interoperability specifications, and participation in Verizon
sponsored interoperability test program
▪ NG-PON2 interoperability has to be there from day one
Verizon established “Verizon Open OMCI” group, consists of system vendors and SoC
vendors, to define specifications.
▪ Typically meets every week to discuss interop process/issues, documentation review etc.
201
Going forward: NGPON2 (2)
Verizon OSS
Interoperability is required between:
▪ ONT and OLT CT/EMS from different vendors within a wavelength channel EMS
▪ Instances of OLT CT/EMS from different vendors within an NG-PON2 system
▪ OLT CT and ONT with optical transceivers of different vendors ONT A
OLT CT C
▪ OLT CT/EMS and ONT from different vendors with the functional elements of
Verizon network architecture

Going forward: NGPON2 (3)
Three pillars of NGPON2 Interop
1. Specifications: includes application use cases, sequence flows, ME definition (if needed), attribute definition &
disambiguation (if needed).
▪ Updates to the specification are published once agreement is reached within the Verizon Open OMCI group
2. Validation: using a combination of vendor self-certification and Verizon-observed cross-vendor interoperability
demonstration to validate specification compliance and correct functional operation.
3. Deployment: go through the formal Verizon product verification process and appropriate OSS changes needed to support
interoperable deployments as BAU
▪ Currently a work in progress
203
What are we trying to interoperate?
Functions Goal #1: swap out one Vz specification
compliant ONT with another with no
▪ Service definition and performance degradation in performance, features, function
▪ Alarms and PMs or operational support.
▪ Software download (SW image depends on ONT)

Goal #2 any interop issue discovered in the field
▪ Operator and vendor maintenance and diagnostics has same level of impact as a “sw bug”.
Examples of changes/clarifications to G.988

▪ Makes necessary extensions to support multi-wavelength architecture of NG-PON2 and new features introduced by
G.989.2/.3 (new TWDM MEs)
▪ Move to all 64-bit PMs, where defined
▪ Specify ONU2-G Equipment ID is the product’s CLEI code
▪ Disallow any “default value” for capabilities; disallow use of any deprecated MEs or attributes
▪ Restrict SIP configuration to “file retrieval” for VoIP Services
▪ Enhance remote debug ME to accept commands more than 25 characters
▪ Require support for 2 instances of Ethernet History PMD (binned and running counts)
204
Specification: Verizon OpenOMCI
A specification being developed by Verizon
▪ Is based on G.988, as amended, with best practice Appendices. Includes both a narrative word document and a spreadsheet
precisely identifying required MEs, attributes, attribute ranges, alarms, etc
▪ Defines end-user applications, and for each application, defines the supported OMCI MEs
▪ Service profiles (similar to Bluetooth profiles) – what MEs ave to be supported for a specific application (SIP voice, Internet
access, etc.)
▪ No optional MEs; No optional attributes
▪ No vendor-proprietary OMCI objects*.
* Proposed extensions are discussed in the Verizon OpenOMCI committee, and if accepted, adopted as “vendor specific” MEs.
Such MEs are documented with semantics, methods, relationship diagrams, and message sequences, and are designated as
“vendor specific” until adopted by ITU (ex: OMCI support for TWDM)
Version 1.0 has been released, presented to Q2 which accepted the core MEs into G.988 (a subset of
Verizon OpenOMCI).
And published on the Verizon website
http://www.verizon.com/about/techspecs/verizon-openomci-specification
205
Specification: Verizon Open NETCONF/YANG
Another specification being developed by Verizon
▪ To leverage existing deployments of Layer 2 Network Interface Devices (NIDs), ONTs supporting advanced Layer 2 services
are dual-managed
▪ The advanced Layer2 services are managed using NETCONF protocol and YANG models that cover NID traffic management,
Service OAM, Service Activation, and other Verizon-specific operational features.
▪ NETCONF protocol and YANG model definition went through same process as the Verizon Open OMCI through the Verizon O
206
Validation: Verizon NG-PON2 Interoperability Testing
Program
Based in Waltham, Mass
▪ ADTRAN, Broadcom, Calix/Ericsson, Cortina Access
Interop Events conducted bimonthly

▪ 2016 – two events ; 2017 – six events; 2018 – one event completed, 5
more planned
▪ Covers optical, PMD, PLOAM, OMCI interoperability for basic PON
functions and for Single Family Unit services. Covers NETCONF/YANG for
NID services.
▪ Since August: includes the operational aspect of interoperability and
involves Verizon Operations and Engineering as an observers for the plug
and play test scenarios
Vendors travel on-site for 4 days of interop testing, following a Verizon-authored Test plan
Vendors submit a test result document; any discrepancies are logged and appropriate corrective
actions tracked

Issues for sustainable usage of NG-PON2 in RAN
1. Evolution of Mobile System is very rapid. Transmission rate of LLS

such as eCPRI will increase to 25G soon.
PON should support it and migration (from 10G to 25G/50G) should
be easy and cost effective. It is better that replace for the migration is
a small part or module such as optical transceiver, not a large slot of
the system.
2. As for coexisting with other systems such as IoT and FTTH, gap of
transmission rate and traffic volume comparing with such systems
are very large.
This must be considered. One solution is coexistence of multiple-rate
systems (ex. 10G for l1-3 and 25G for l4 in a single system).

Assumptions
• 100,000 home and mixed use area
• FTTH Build ~$900 HP, ~$600 HC
• 70% aerial, 30% underground
• 1x64 total split centralized or distributed
Potential additional services

• Wireless
• Mobile: Macro cell, Small cell
• Fixed: LoS, Non-LoS
• DAS: In building, Outdoor, Wi-Fi
• Business services (Pt-Pt)
• Back Haul, Interoffice

Network convergence: Payoff!
• Although difficult, converging multiple applications onto a single network enables
greater economies of scale
• Example: one system for schools, government offices, traffic lights, security
cameras, Wi-Fi in the city center and residential high-speed internet

Converged networks allow addressing multiple market segment simultaneously, adding

revenue streams and de-risking the business case for optical fiber
Summary
• Referencing Metcalf’s and Nielsen’s law, we have reached a
point where operators must consider not only the speed
provided to a subscriber but also ensuring ubiquitous
connectivity.
• The migration of a PON network from today’s technologies to
those allowing for a fully converged architecture may be
achieved with little impact to the headend.
• The payoff an operator will experience is significant long-
term capital avoidance.

Driving access network convergence
through next-generation PON and SD-
Access
As operators push more and more fiber deeper into the
network to support a range of residential, enterprise and x-
haul services, the need for access network convergence is
greater than ever. By combining leading access technologies
like NGPON2 with SDN-based programmability, operators are
Ryan McCowan now able to build highly programmable and scalable
Director Product Management, converged access networks. This presentation will cover the
Adtran use cases driving convergence and the best practices for
implementing these converged, SDN-controlled access
networks.

Challenges and Solutions for an
NG-PON2-based Fronthaul
The New Radio Access Architecture (New RAN), as defined by
3GPP in TR 38.801, features the disaggregation of the next
generation node B (gNB) into a Distributed Unit (DU) and
Central Unit (CU). The distribution of functionalities between
Luca Valcarenghi CU and DU impacts the characteristic, in terms of capacity
and latency, that the CU-DU connection (i.e., the fronthaul)

shall guarantee. This presentation shades some lights on the

suitability and on the attentions to be taken when an NG-
PON2 is utilized to carry fronthaul traffic.

The Effect of Virtualization on PON
Architectures and Hardware
Today’s PON systems are massively integrated and
application specific systems that, in addition to the PON
functions, contain multiple layers of switching and traffic
management. PON systems are becoming virtualized and the
Ed Boyd impact on system hardware is subtle, yet significant. In this
CTO and Co-Founder, presentation we will compare the integrated and virtualized
Tibit Communications architectures and explore the advantages of virtualized PON.

• Virtualization allows for component disaggregation
• An ideal split would isolate Generic Hardware and PON Specific Hardware on the
smallest granularity possible
• Line Card Modularity and Port Modularity will be considered
– Does either approach really reduce hardware cost?
– Are there significant architectural advantages?

• Virtualization enables network disaggregation...
...which enables more smaller, modular architectures
• Dividends of this virtualization manifest in CAPEX & OPEX savings:

– Reduced PON-specific components in network (down to size of single port-pluggable optics)
– Reduced PON-specific costs
– Reduced power consumption
– Leverage standard switches
– Enable port-specific buildout and upgrade
– Facilitate OLT-ONU interoperability
