XG (S) – PON | Motivation and Evolution

With the emergence of new applications and services that require more bandwidth, there is a need for the passive network to be able to support these services and deliver the necessary bandwidth. GPON passive networks have become a bottleneck for these services. Given the facts, we will have the rise of the next generation of GPON technology, XG(S)-PON (10G GPON).


Services


What’s XG (S) – PON?


XG (S) – PON is an enhanced next-generation PON technology that evolves from existing GPON technology standards. Some of the main features of this technology:

 

  • Higher bandwidth, capable of providing Internet access speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s. 4 times more than its predecessor GPON technology

  • Longest logical distance ≥ 60 km

  • Line Encryption on direction Downstream/Upstream

  • Split rate of up to 1:256


Differences between GPON, XG-PON and XGS-PON

Evolution from GPON to XG(S)- PON


The wavelength of XG(S)-PON and GPON do not overlap. Therefore, they can share the same ODN network through Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM).

If the OLT does not support XG(S)-PON, you will need to add a new OLT that does. This is a disadvantage, as it will have additional cost when purchasing a new OLT, and you will have to discard the GPON OLT when your network is fully XG(S)-PON. A second disadvantage is the cost of purchasing a WDM1r multiplexer, and the space it will take up on your DC. Huawei has a great migration solution using XG(S) – PON Combo


What’s XG (S) – PON Combo?


On the same PON port, we can have two passive technologies, being GPON + XGPON or GPON + XGS-PON. In addition, we have an optical module combo that integrates the GPON optical module, XG(S)-PON optical module, and WDM multiplexer to share ODN resources without adding an external WDM multiplexer.

Evolution Process


1. Add a board XG (S) – PON Combo

2. Migrate optical fiber from GPON port to XG port (S) – PON Combo

3. Add an ONU/ONT XG (S) – PON or change an existing ONU/ONT GPON
