Abstract
Passive optical networks (PON) for fiber to the home/cabinet (FTTH/C) have become popular recently due the unstoppable bandwidth demand. Data rates downstream of up to 2.5 Gbps and upstream of up to 1.2 Gbps with splitting factors reaching 64 are in the focus of worldwide product developments. An attractive solution for next generation PON with splitting factors of more than 512, 10 Gbps downstream and 2.5 Gbps upstream data signals is outlined in this paper. The increased splitting factor compensates for the higher components costs due to the higher data rates. By adding optical amplifiers and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) distances over 100 km and ring structures with more than three nodes are possible leading to a promising and cost-effective next generation "super"-PON thus making MAN (metro access networks) obsolete.
