GPON For Cellular Back/
Mar, 2006 |
| |
Cellular network operators must now be able to support simultaneously the divergent technological demands and applications of existing 2G/2.5G networks as well as those of the newly emerging 3G Networks.
The migration from 2G circuit-switched networks (TDM) to 3G packet switched networks (ATM and eventually IP and Ethernet) raises new challenges. In particular, the Cellular network operator must consider the bandwidth, cost, suitability and availability of the selected access platform to handle the expected increase in bandwidth capacity and be able to manage the complexities of a converged voice and data network.
In this sense, Gigabit Optical Network (GPON) Technology seems to be the optimal solution for backhauling of both TDM and high Bandwidth data Services from the Cellular Towers & Base stations all the way up to the Base Station Controllers.

DWDM reach extension of GPON to 135km: BT, Infinera and FlexLight joint Project/
Mar, 2005 |
| |
A Report on operation of a GPON (2.488 Gbit/s downstream, 1.244 Gbit/s upstream) based on FlexLight's equipment over 135 km giving performance consistent with ITU-T standards. Advanced DWDM equipment is used to extend the physical reach and provide fiber gain.

A FlexLight & BroadLight paper: ITU-T G.984 GPON vs. IEEE 802.3ah EPON/
Mar, 2004 |
| |
This paper, co-authored by FlexLight Networks and BroadLight, compares GPON versus EPON solutions and
demonstrates how GPON provides a compelling business case for access deployment, supporting both Ethernet and TDM services on a single fiber, to a large number of end users covering a broad network reach.

GPON - The Next Big Thing in Optical Access Networks/
Mar, 2004 |
| |
This paper contains a comprehensive review of the various Passive Optical Network (PON) technologies in the marketplace today, namely APON, EPON and GPON, and draws an in-depth comparison between them. Following a review of the history of the various PON flavors, as well as the service requirements set forth by service providers, the emerging ITU-T G.984 series Gigabit PON (GPON) technology is examined in detail. System performance between the various protocols is compared using efficiency and scalability factors, and conclusions are drawn as to the overall throughput efficiency of and cost influence on the solution.

GPON and EPON (GE-PON) Economical Comparison/
, 2004 |
| |
The newest standard is ITU-T G.984 GPON, which delivers extremely high bit rates while still supporting the transmission of native formats such as IP and TDM with improved efficiency. GPON offers unprecedented bandwidth, and is an ideal technology for large-scale FTTH & FTTB applications.
This paper will make a simple cost comparison between data-only GE-PON and the newly standardized GPON technology for a given FTTP network. The comparison economics demonstrate that GPON offers a feature rich, low cost solution for deployment of a very efficient high bandwidth network.
