BPON, or broadband PON, was the most popular PON application in the
beginning. BPON uses ATM as the protocol. ATM is widely used for telephone
networks and the methods of transporting all data types (voice, Internet, video,
etc.) are well known. BPON digital signals operate at ATM rates of 155, 622
and 1244 Mb/s.
Downstream digital signals from the CO through the splitter to the home are
sent at 1490 nm. This signal carries both voice and data to the home. Video on
the first systems used the same technology as CATV, an analog modulated
signal, broadcast separately using a 1550 nm laser which may require a fiber
amplifier to provide enough

amplifier to provide enough signal strength to overcome the loss of the optical
splitter. Video could be upgraded to digital using IPTV, negating the need for
the separate wavelength for video. Upstream digital signals for voice and data
are sent back to the CO from the home using an inexpensive 1310 nm laser.
WDM couplers separate the signals at both the home and the CO.
EPON or Ethernet PON is based on the IEEE standard for Ethernet in the
First Mile. It uses packet-based transmission at 1 Gb/s with 10 Gb/s under
discussion. EPON is widely deployed in Asia. The system architecture is the
same as GPON but data protocols are differenet.
There is one interesting aspect of this approach. Now telcos and CATV
companies can deliver the same services over the same cable plant using
totally different technologies. But that means that office or apartment building
owners, developers or even whole towns that might be considering installing
FTTH infrastructure themselves and leasing the fiber to a service provider can
have a choice of service providers. One cable network can support either
CATV or telco systems or even someone else for that matter. That opens up
a big market for private fiber optic systems.
