GPON Splitting
 Impact of converting the PSCA network to PON

Description PSCA PON Assessment Remarks

New PON Infrastructure need to deploy (we have already AON
Cost Low Too High Current Scenario is better Infrastructure)
Reliability of the end subscriber in Access Good (Ring
network Topology) Poor Current Scenario is better (end device is not twice in one PON)

Bandwidth increasing Simple Difficult Current Scenario is better

potentially
impacting a specific Impact on a broader Current Scenario is better
Impact of Fiber Cut link area
Business
environments, data Residential areas, Current Scenario is better
Sustainability centers broadband access
in the worst case scenario a single ONT can bring an entire PON tree
Impact of malfunction Low High Current Scenario is better with upto 64 subscriber down

Bandwidth Allocation Good Average Current Scenario is better

Imapact of fault in access node Low High Current Scenario is better

Maximum length of end device or user 100 KM 20 KM Current Scenario is better

Energy consumption High Low PON is is better PON save energy due to the splitter
PON network no need to power supply and ups for the network
Level of Maintenance High Low PON is is better splitters, in our rings power impact on all other sites

Note: For new project with PON Infrastructure situation shall be different
