Introduction
• A large part of F5G is PON
• PON evolving through time
• PON evolving in application
• The user network must keep up
• Advanced WiFi is growing
• Optical in-home networking
• Transport integration is needed
• Data plane evolution
• Management plane revolution

 Active development of passive optical networks
Where we are: Where we're going: Where to after that?
G-PON ITU-T G.984 XG(S)-PON G.987 & G.9807 50G-PON G.9804
Total FTTx sub = 652 M China Telecom and China Unicom
10G PON will account for ~20% in 2020
Vast majority is PON China

Ovum

G-PON was not the first PON, but it Upgrading to XG(S)-PON is enabled
was the first to reach 100M customers by the coexistence features
The importance of deploying all that It is driven by application BW growth
fiber cannot be underestimated and peak BW competition

The conversion to 10GPON is worldwide
49 countries have launched gigabit services.

Service 1Gbps, 4K, VR services Competition ILEC vs CLEC: China Mobile, SKB etc.
Driven SME, 4K Camera, 5G MBH Driven MSO DOCSIS3.1, Bell, etc.

• Coexistence enabled by early standardization of XG-PON, which led 1270 nm
Tx
to a wavelength plan and blocking filters deployed in most ONUs
• G-PON coexists with the others by pure WDM
• XG and XGS-PON coexist with each other by TDM (enabled by multi-rate receiver)

In the home: When radio doesn't reach
• In many cases, WiFi doesn't provide a complete solution, as its signals may
be blocked by structural elements or jammed by interference
• In these cases, a fixed solution is needed
• If CAT5/6 is available: IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
• If other metallic media are present: ITU-T G.hn (G.996x)
• If no media is available, intra-premises fiber is a
possibility
