Abstract :
The generic architecture of a SuperPON (super passive optical network) with a target optical split of 2048 and a maximum range of 100 km. A bit rate of 2.5 Gbit/s is distributed to the optical network units (ONU) by time-division multiplexing (TDM) in the downstream direction, whereas a time-division multiple access (TDMA) protocol is used to share the 311-Mbit/s upstream bit rate. Optical repeater units (ORUs) are integrated in the network to compensate for the optical losses
