Multi-wavelength PON as a cost-effective and power-efficient alternative to WDM/TDM PON for extended-reach applications

摘要

We have suggested and demonstrated that MW PON can be more cost-effective and power-efficient than WDM/TDM PON during initial deployment periods during which FTTH take-up rate is low and grows slowly or in case where normal daily traffic changes in a sinusoidal pattern on the system level.
