The leader on B-PON

Recommendations means

G.983.1 – Broadband optical access systems based
on Passive Optical Networks
Specifies an optical access system with symmetrical
line rates of 155.520 or 622.080 Mbit/s and
asymmetrical line rates of 155.520 Mbit/s upstream
and 622.080 Mbit/s downstream.
G.983.2 – ONT management and control interface
specification for B-PON
Specifies requirements for the OMCI, managed entities
of a protocol-independent Management Information Base
and protocol/detailed messages for the ONT manage-
ment and control channel.
G.983.3 – A broadband optical access system with
increased service capability by wavelength allocation
Adds an additional wavelength band to a G.983.1
B-PON to enable the distribution of unidirectional or
bidirectional video broadcast or data services.
• Support for a wide range of narrowband and broad-
band services like:
- POTS
- ISDN
- Data
- Cable TV
- Video on demand
- LAN interconnection
- Videoconferencing
• Because B-PON is independent from bit rates, signal
formats (e.g. digital or analogue, SONET/SDH, etc.)
and protocols (Internet Protocols, Ethernet, ATM,
etc.), only the equipment needed for delivering specific
services needs to be added at the ends of the net-
work when the time comes to add new services to Broadband Passive Optical Network
existing customers or to add new customers.

G.983.4 – A broadband optical access system

with increased service capability using dynamic Worldwide Passive Optical
bandwidth assignment
Specifies the enhancements to a G.983.1 B-PON to
Networks
allow the use of dynamic bandwidth assignment. Equipment Revenue Forecast
G.983.5 – A broadband optical access system with
enhanced survivability 1.000
Specifies protection features for a G.983.1 B-PON.

G.983.6 – ONT management and control interface 750

specifications for B-PON system with protection
features
Specifies the OMCI for a B-PON system with protection

features. 500

G.983.7 – ONT management and control interface

specification for dynamic bandwidth assignment 250
(DBA) B-PON system
Specifies the OMCI for a B-PON system using dynamic
bandwidth assignment.
