NG-PON2 Main Variants

Shared vs. Expanded Spectrum (co-existence w/ legacy PON generations)

TWDM vs. PtP WDM

4, 8, more wavelength pairs

TWDM 2G5 vs. 10G (US and/or DS), PtP WDM w/ 1G, 2G5, 3G, 5G, 6G, 10G,

Power split (preference) vs. filtered ODN

N1 vs. N2 vs. E1 (vs. E2) reach options

More (DFB vs. DBR lasers, cyclic AWG vs. TFF, )

Co-existence of TWDM and PtP WDM (shared spectrum)

Potential co-existence w/ G-PON, RF, XG-PON1 (brownfield and greenfield)

Up to 8 wavelength pairs for TWDM (8 3264 users)

Up to 16 PtP WDM wavelength pairs possible (best practice could be 8)

Total split 256512 will most likely require Reach Extender (2731 dB PS IL)

NG-PON2 Applications

Residential access shared, TWDM

VDSL2 (FTTCab) / G.fast (FTTdp) backhaul TWDM or PtP

Broadband business access (shared or dedicated) TWDM or PtP

Mobile backhaul (MBH, D-RAN) TWDM, PtP

Fronthaul (MFH, C-RAN) dedicated, PtP

Backhaul

C-RAN, a.k.a. Fronthaul

Fronthaul will be based on fiber almost exclusively

Fiber roll-out similar to FTTB, FTTCab, FTTdp, depending on cell size

More MFH may mean less MBH, depending on network consolidation

In order to increase copper bandwidth, fiber must get to the distribution points

The next wave of wireline backhaul

NG-PON2 supports all wireline backhaul bandwidths and distances

In order to increase copper bandwidth, smaller clusters and more fibers are needed

This increases the Fiber part in HFC

NG-PON2 may support this, however, there was almost no input from cable operators
to its standardization

Conclusion

NG-PON2 can come in many different variants

It can support various access, backhaul and fronthaul applications,

including the network / active-site consolidation for these applications
Structural Network Convergence (ref., e.g., EU FP7 IP COMBO)

14

It can be used by any type of operator for the respective applications
