8. What is happening in the
standards bodies?
 C/DWDM
o ITU-T G.694.1 (DWDM)
o ITU-T G.694.2 (CWDM)
 Access Networks
o ITU-T SG 15 Q2 (based on FSAN, Full Service Access Network)
o NG-PON2:
o TWDM-PON
o Tuneable WDM overlay
o Detailed specifications in progress
o G.989.1 (requirements): Editors are VZ and NTT. Consented in Sept 2012. Approved in Mar 2013.
o G.989.2 (physical layer): Include both TWDM and PtP WDM. Editors are Coriant, ALU, and Huawei. Target
approval in August 2014.
o G.989.3 (transmission convergence, protocol layer): Editors are Vodafone, China Telecom, ALU, and ZTE.
Target consent in December 2014.
o IEEE 802.3
o EPON (2004)
o 10G-EPON (802.3av, 2009)
 Passive Metro WDM
o ITU-T SG 15 Q6
o work on new Recommendation G.metro (with wavelength agnostic interfaces)
o Applications: Access backhaul, mobile backhaul, mobile fronthaul, business access
o Up to 10 Gbit/s down-/upstream; 40 to 80 channels per band; 20 to 80 km reach

9. What can WDM-PON offer?
 Massive bandwidth per user
 Application agnostic access
 Business Ethernet Services
 Residential Broadband Backhaul – FTTC/FTTB/FTTH
 Mobile Backhaul
 Mobile Fronthaul – CPRI/OBSAI
 High security
 Separate wavelength per user
 No sharing
 Highly automated optical access
 Simple commissioning - Low OPEX
 Simple sparing
