PON BPL – Basic Broadband Architecture
Highlights:
Low bandwidth profile
• Using Medium-Voltage
Medium Voltage (MV) BPL gateways
(1 - 4 Mb
Mbps per user))
• Each gateway serves 50-200 households
• 600 Mbps (3 x 200 Mbps) are shared
among 50-200 users
• GPON ONT and BPL gateway are
integrated into a single box solution
• Useful for entry-level broadband services

A real fibre partnership example*

The telecom operator will: The energy distributor (ED) will:

Own the GPON equipment Own the fibre

Own the BPL injectors and CPEs Own the meters

Supply the fibre Install and maintain the fibre

Install and maintain the splitters &
Install the BPL injectors and couplers

BPL PON

‰“The Corinex MV Gateway is fitted also with a Corning

FlexNAP solution so the customer just has to connect
the coupler/isolator to Powerline, connect 240VAC, and
click in the single fibre Corning to deliver the service.
‰The Gateway is up and running within 30 minutes -
very nice for a million home deployment With the ONT
delivering about 120Mbit/s,
120Mbit/s the Gateway was delivering
about 80Mbit/s, we had 28Mbit/s throughput into the
home CPE - Triple play here we come…”
