FTTH (Fiber To The Home) is one of the most attractive solutions for next-generation access networks. It offers not only high bandwidth for simultaneous delivery of premium triple-play services to end-users, but also reduced costs for both carriers and customers with simpli ed network infrastructure and convenient management system. Based on In-Stat’s forecast, the growing popularity of FTTH can be seen as follows: From the global perspective, FTTX users have increased from 58.2 million in 2008 to 74.8 million in 2009; by 2012, the predicted number of total users will hit 116 million; From the regional perspective, by the end of 2009, there were 5.3 and 30 million FTTH users in North America and Asia, respectively; by mid-2010, the total number of FTTH users in Europe has been 3.2 million already, and a drastic increase can be seen in the foreseeable future; Being a competitive technology for FTTH, Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) has already attracted a lot of carriers and ISPs to adopt it in their packet switching networks (PSN). Comparing to its counterparts, EPON takes benets from both PON and Ethernet technologies, including low-cost, high bandwidth, scalability, exible services, easy management and compatibility with existing Ethernet networks. In particular, EPON can support up to 20km transmission distance without power requirements. The point to multi-point application topology also helps to cut-down ber and device consumptions. With a complete suite of advanced functionality and guaranteed performance, EPON turns to be one of best choices in delivering high-speed, high-quality and high-reliability services, such as IPTV, CATV, HDTV, IP camera, VOIP, fax, home monitoring and data transferring.
