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
