Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) is the ultimate solution to the bandwidth bottleneck that exists on network access. Worldwide, many carriers are building affordable FTTP networks based on a Passive Optical Network (PON) architecture. PONs provide the technology platform on which industry leading triple play services are offered. This course provides an intermediate level overview of PON architectures and their basic operation. We first review general concepts that are common to all types of PON. Am...
