10G-PON

(Redirected fromG.987)

10G-PON(also known asXG-PONorG.987) is a 2010computer networkingstandard fordata links,capable of delivering sharedInternet accessrates up to 10 Gbit/s (gigabits per second) over existingdark fiber.This is theITU-T's next-generation standard following on fromGPONor gigabit-capable PON.Optical fibreis shared by many subscribers in a network known asFTTxin a way that centralises most of thetelecommunicationsequipment, often displacing copper phone lines that connect premises to the phone exchange.Passive optical network(PON) architecture has become a cost-effective way to meet performance demands inaccess networks,and sometimes also in large optical local networks forfibre-to-the-desk.[1]

Passive optical networks are used for thefibre-to-the-homeorfibre-to-the-premiseslast milewith splitters that connect each central transmitter to many subscribers. The 10 Gbit/s shared capacity is the downstream speed broadcast to all users connected to the same PON, and the 2.5 Gbit/s upstream speed uses multiplexing techniques to prevent data frames from interfering with each other. Each user has a network device that converts between the optical signals and the signals used in building wiring, such asEthernetand wired analogueplain old telephone service.XGS-PON is a related technology that can deliver upstream and downstream (symmetrical) speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s (gigabits per second), first approved in 2016 as G.9807.1.[2][3]XGS-PON usestime division multiplexing(TDM) andtime division multiple access(TDMA).[4]

Standards

edit

ITU-TG.987 is the standard for 10G-PON.[5]

Asymmetric 10G-PON is specified as XG-PON1: 10 Gbit/s downstream and 2.5 Gbit/s upstream (nominal line rate of 9.95328 Gbit/s downstream and 2.48832 Gbit/s upstream).

Symmetric 10G-PON is also proposed as XG-PON2 with 10 Gbit/s upstream, but would require more expensive burst-modelasersonoptical network terminals(ONTs) to deliver the upstream transmission speed. Another symmetric 10G-PON standard is XGS-PON (ITU-T G.9807.1, approved 2016-06-22).

Framing is "G-PON like" but uses different wavelengths from G-PON (using aWDM to separate them)[6]so that G-PON subscribers can be upgraded to 10G-PON incrementally while GPON users continue on the original optical line terminal (OLT). The G-PON standard isG.984.[7]This compares to theIEEE802.3avstandard for10G-EPONbased onEthernet,which has standardised upstream rates of both 1 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s.[8]The 10 gigabit PON wavelengths (1577 nm down / 1270 nm up) differ from GPON and EPON (1490 nm down /1310 nm up), allowing it to coexist on the same fibre with either of the gigabit PONs.[9]

G.987

edit

ITU-TRecommendation G.987 is a family that defines this access network standard (referred to as XG-PON). It comprises four recommendations:

  • G.987:10-Gigabit-capable passive optical network (XG-PON) systems: Definitions, Abbreviations, and Acronyms, 2010.
  • G.987.1:General requirements of 10G-PON systems(approved 2010-01-13).Includes examples of services, user network interfaces (UNIs) and service node interfaces (SNIs), as well as the principal deployment configurations that are requested by network operators.
  • G.987.2:Physical media dependent (PMD) layer specification(approved 2010-01-13, updated 2010-10-07).Describes a flexible optical fibre access network representing an evolutionary development from G.984.2, asymmetric only in the current version.
  • G.987.3:Transmission convergence (TC) specifications(approved 2010-10-07).

G.988

edit

There is also a companion ITU-T standard defining a management and control interface for administering optical network units, referred to by the G.987 recommendations.

  • G.988:ONU management and control interface (OMCI) specification(approved 2010-10-07).

ONU equipment

edit

Theoptical network unit(ONU) supplies network services from the PON tocustomer premises,connectingcustomer-premises equipmentsuch as a home gateway or office firewall. Anoptical network terminal(ONT) is an ONU that functions as ademarcation pointservicing a single subscriber; e.g., a dwelling or office. ONU devices supplyEthernetand possibly other services to the users, either directly (bybridging) or through a gateway device such as aresidential gateway,firewall,and/orrouter,POTS,CATVsignals to buildings wired for RF video, and some may even be compatible with the emergingG.hnhome networking standard.

The ONU receives the downstream data from the Internet or private networks, and also uses time slots allocated by the OLT to send the upstream traffic in burst-mode.TDMAtime slots prevent collisions with upstream traffic from other users sharing the same physical PON.

Fibre-to-the-cell siteis another emerging application, but has extra synchronisation requirements. A specialisedcellular backhaul unit(CBU) can provide PON access forcellular networks.

OLT and access nodes

edit

The OLT (optical line terminal) connects the PON to aggregatedbackhauluplinks, allocates time slots for ONUs and ONTs to transmit upstream data, and transmits shared downstream data in broadcast-mode over the PON to users. Since 10GPON is designed to coexist with GPON devices, migration to a 10GPON capability could be done by upgrading the OLT and then migrating individual ONUs as needed.

Normally the OLT is on a card that slots into an OLT chassis at thecentral office(CO), which uses special uplink cards forEthernetbackhaul to the telecommunications provider's network and internet. Uplink cards on access equipment will likely use multiple Ethernet interfaces, although it remains to be seen what uplink speeds manufacturers will offer to support 10GPON access. Locating OLTs inoutside plantcabinets may be an option for reach extension as a way to minimise the number of central offices covering low population density areas.

ITU and IEEE are planning for convergence of their specifications at the physical layer in 10G that would allow for the shared chips, optics and hardware platforms, thus driving cost reductions for hardware manufacturers.[10]

Optical distribution network

edit

PONoptical distribution networksusesingle-mode optical fibrein theoutside plant,optical splittersandoptical distribution frames,duplexed so that both upstream and downstream share the same fibre on separate wavelengths. 10G-PON is no exception with similar reach to previous standards but supporting a higher split ratio of 128 users per PON, or more using reach extenders/amplifiers.Optical splitterscreating apoint to multipointtopology are also the same technology as those used by other PON systems. This means any PON network should be upgradable by changing the ONT and OLT terminals at each end, with no change to the fibre itself unless different connectors are chosen.

"An Optical Distribution Network (ODN) being installed today will likely need to support four or more generations of PON over its expected 30 – 40 year life... The fibre should enable maximum flexibility to support any potential new PON technology, be protected with proven, reliable cabling making it easy to install and reliable, and be joined by advanced, low labor and low loss connectivity. The cost of the ODN materials (fibre, cable, and connectivity) at only about 8% comprises a surprisingly small portion of the total network cost."[9]

In an effort to extend the reach with support for 128 splits, the standard supports a range of optical budgets from 29 dB to 31 dB. A draft update to the standard is expected to further extend this to 33 dB and 35 dB budget classifications. A PON with a 35 dB optical budget could span 25 km or more and be shared/split among 128 subscribers.[11]XGS-PON also supports split ratios of up to 1:128.[12]

Some ONTs can receive a broad range of optical spectrum from 1480 nm to 1580 nm, so making the 10G-PON downstream signal visible to G-PON receivers. As a result, ONTs must block the unwanted downstream signals with a wavelength blocking filter (WBF), a small passive optical device.[11]

Field trials

edit
  • In October 2010, Portugal Telecom reported a successful field trial of 10G-PON, transmitting 3D-TV content using XG-PON1 capabilities.[13]
  • Verizonalso successfully completed a field trial of the pre-standard XG-PON2 (synchronous 10G-PON) capable of delivering a 10 Gbit/s broadband connection both downstream and upstream. In October 2010, at a Verizon customer's business in Taunton, Mass., the XG-PON2 trial used the same optical fibre that provides that business with its existing FiOS network connection and services.
  • BT in the UK is providing a trial 10-Gbit/s broadband service to a business customer in Cornwall using XGPON technology, it announced on 23rd Nov 2012.[14]
  • Chorus in New Zealand is providing a trial 10-Gbit/s broadband service to customers using XGS-PON technology. It was announced on 18th Nov 2019.[15]
  • OpenFiber (wholesale-only FTTH carrier in Italy) has successfully trialled a 10 Gbit service with coexisting GPON on the same fiber, using XGS-PON technology from ZTE, on March 14, 2019 in collaboration with ISP Fibra.city.[16][17]
    • Announced the commercial availability on its OpenStream product (bitstream access) on March 26, 2021.[18]
  • Telecom Italia is starting a trial on three exchanges in Italy using XGS-PON equipment from Nokia, both to its retail customers and to its wholesale clients.[19][20][21]
