Passive Optical Networks - Sponsored Whitepaper

The need for Telcos to deliver the triple play of voice, video and data in order to compete with services offered by cable companies has reignited the focus on broadband optical access systems based on Passive Optical Networking (PON). PON components are key to unlocking the bandwidth of fiber. This paper specifically addresses GPON (Gigabit PON) applications and the associated synchronization requirements for the smooth transmission of real-time services over broadband networks.
