Passive Optical Networks

Passive optical network (PON) technologies have become an important broadband
access technology as a result of the growing demand for bandwidth-hungry video-on-demand
applications. Written by the leading researchers and industry experts in the
field, this book provides coherent coverage of networking technologies, fiber
optic transmission technologies, as well as the electronics involved in PON
system development.
Features:
- An in-depth overview of PON technologies and the potential applications
that they enable
- Comprehensive review of all major PON standards and architecture evolutions,
as well as their pros and cons
- Balanced coverage of recent research findings with economic and engineering
considerations
- Presents system issues of protocols, performance, management and protection
- Extensive references to standards and research materials for further studies
This book provides an authoritative overview of PON technologies and system
requirements and is ideal for engineers and managers in industry, university
researchers, and graduate students.
