Overview: The marketplace is currently on the cusp of the mass deployment of fiber-based broadband access directly to individual residences. Optical access networks take a variety of forms that will extend optical fibers all the way to or near the residence. Architectures known as Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are likely to play a dominant role in optical access in the near term. However, broadband services, which ultimately drive the bandwidth requirements for the access network, are growing steadily and in the coming years may exhaust the capacity of these first-generation PON deployments. This paper examines several promising next-generation technology options for optical networks with even greater bandwidth capacity.
