 Broadband PON (BPON)
> ITU G.983 ATM-PON approved standards:
> G.983.1(1998): optical layer, transmission convergence layer, and ATM
layer for BPON systems
> G.983.2 (2000): operations channel protocol and message set (OMCI)
between the BPON OLT and the ONT
> G.983.3 (2001): alternative wavelength plan including additional
wavelength band for downstream video broadcast or for bi-directional
transport of data using DWDM
> 155 symmetrical to 622 Mb/s asymmetrical shared by homes
for voice and data
> Guaranteed Quality of Service through ATM: CBR, VBRnrt,
VBRrt, UBR…
> FSAN committee as a major source of input (Service Provider
oriented)

> Dedicated 5+Gbps for broadcast TV, including HDTV

> FSAN Standard (1550nm wavelength)
> Both G.983 (BPON) and G.984 (GPON) standards include this provision
> Delivers digital video content over a single connection (fiber)
> Provides competitive edge over cable companies

 Video over RF
> BPON OLT’s serve Voice, HSI and CATV video
> Can deliver video from a RF video head end
> Utilizes 1550nm transport for analog and digital video
services out of the Coax connector on the ONT
> Leverages mature CATV infrastructure
> No home wiring re-work
> Can be deployed with or without a set top box
> Channel switching at the STB or TV
> US RBOC purchasing of this approach will improve
component cost (FTTP)
