Abstract
Optical fiber-based networks can meet the increasing demand for faster and higher bandwidth broadband connections to user premises. The gigabit-class passive optical networks are standardized and deployed nowadays. With ever increasing demand for higher speeds, next-generation PONs (NG-PONs) deployment is quite inevitable. The NG-PON has to evolve over the existing optical distribution network (ODN) as it accounts for the major cost of the PON. This paper analyzes the performance of the existing ODN for deployment of an NG-PON. The performance characteristics of ODNs of existing PON architecture have been analyzed considering different types of fibers, split ratios and optical wavelengths for upgradation to NG-PON.
