The next-generation fiber technologies such as NG-PON2 has
been identified as a paradigm shift in the access space and a more certain path
towards long-term success, reports ITRealms.
According to the Director, Technology at Verizon, Vincent
O’Byrne, this would be explored by the Broadband Forum’s Access Summit, which
features operators and manufacturers, as well as industry insight from Light
Reading, IHS and the Fiber Broadband Association.
Taking place at Broadband World Forum, at the Messe Berlin,
on Tuesday, October 24, the agenda features O’Byrne who will explain how the
fiber access space is constantly evolving, with emerging PON technology
providing solutions to some of the issues around cost and reliability.
“Technologies such as NG-PON2 present exciting new
opportunities for vendors, such as delivering residential and business services
on multiple wavelengths over the same fiber,” said O’Byrne. “Not only does
NG-PON2 parse business and residential customer traffic to isolate and resolve
potential problems in the network, it can also scale to achieve speeds of 40
Gbps and above.”
Delegates attending the summit will hear how some of the
Broadband Forum’s current projects relate to this need, with its NG-PON2
Council working to accelerate adoption of the technology.
Additional topics that will be covered include Gfast, the
gigabit society, Access 4.0, Fiber to the Distribution Point and the role
virtualization has to play in the next generation of networks.
Bernd Hesse, Chair of the Broadband Access Summit Event and
Senior Director Technology Development at Calix, said: “We will be exploring
NG-PON2 in depth and the use cases that underpin the decisions to deploy them.
I look forward to the debate, hearing from the experts in the industry and
welcoming the community to these new Forum events.”
