Difference between Switch and PON
access and aggregation
ODN
OLT
ONU
• PON is a promising technology for broadband access and
backhauling!
PON has 20km transmission capability and multiplexed with passive splitter,saving 90% of aggregation switches and space
• PON is PtoMP system,saving fibers and half of the transceivers
• Passive ODN means low Opex
Optical access - passive optical network (PON)
UniPON----single optical access infrastructure for
multi-service and multi-network
Broadband access and BBU-RRU share the uniform fiber infrastructure
PtoMP topology、similar distribution
PON provides shared bandwidth and CWDM provides high speed low delay
transport in the same passive optical distribution network

1529.55nm - 1560.61nm
10G PON, PON upstream PON downstream
Compatible with GPON and 10G PON lambdas in UniPON system
Usually 10 spare CWDM Lambdas:1371~1451nm,1531~1611nm including absorption peak
(E-Band, G.652.A/B fiber).
Considering 10G GPON, 8 CWDM Lambdas left, it is suggested to preserve 1571~1591nm on
the first deployment step.
Usaually 40 DWDM Lambdas in C band(100GHz grid), or hybrid with CWDM
For WDM bidirectional application in single fiber:
CWDM : 3~5 links in single fiber (considering 10G GPON or not)
DWDM : 20 links in single fiber, but cost is an important factor
CPRI/IR over OTN muxponder is a cost-effective choice
10G PON downstream
CATV 1550nm
EPON: 1260~1360nm
GPON:1290~1330nm
10G PON: 1260~1280nm
PON: 1480~1500nm 10G PON: 1575~1580nm
It is possible to set 1471nm and1511nm
free with design restriction for filter and
optical module. But it will raise the cost.
UniPON solution 1—passive WDM module
1、Unified and simple ODN infrastructure with the common splitter for PON and distributed base station. The PON and BBU-RRU transmission can both reach 10km with a splitting ratio of 1:32.
2、Flexible BBU-RRU configuration, and RRU can be deployed at the end of each branch of the ODN.

Filter1: Insertion loss of add/drop wavelength is 1.5dB, and the loss of the
wavelength going through the filter is 1dB.
Improvement:
1.Increase the output power from 0.5~5dB to 2dB with laser cost increased 30%.
2. Open the FEC function which has been deployed in the main vendors' products.
According ITU-T G.984.3, the power budget can be increased by 3dB. However, the
bandwidth efficiency will decrease by 6%.
If the FEC function can’t be enabled, then the power budget will be limited.

Summary
Summary and suggestions
UniPON’s architecture: based on PON, WDM and Distributed Base-station
UniPON’s Lambda allocation
WDM: CPRI/IR over OTN (to be standardized, discussing in ITU-T), FEC,
transmission efficiency
PON: PLC-based splitter, Class B+ or Class C+
Low cost solution: (Suggestion)
Improvement for WDM optical module (output power and sensitivity, more
power budget)
Improvement for WDM filter (Less insertion loss)
It is suggested to study the UniPON including the wavelength
assignment, FEC, high budget optical module and low
attenuation WDM components.
