Abstract :
This article describes FSAN operator perspectives on the drivers and system requirements for fiber access beyond 10-Gigabit-class PON systems (i.e., NG-PON2 in FSAN terminology). Additionally, a review of potential solutions in scope for NG-PON2 is given in the context of these operator drivers and requirements.
