• Investment and risk deferring– unpredicted growth after G/E-PONs

– unpredicted take rates, geographically & temporally


Impact on infrastructure

SARDANA targets• SARDANA project targets the extension of the limits of PONs,

– Scalability is reached by means of the new adoption of remotely-pumped amplification, a WDM/TDM overlay and cascadable remote nodes in a new hybrid architecture; it allows smoother growth and migration while keeping the passiveness of the PON and reducing civil work investments.

– The resulting network is able to serve more than 1000 and 4000 users with symmetric several hundred Mbit/s per user, spread along distances up to 100 km, up to 10Gbit/s.

– Robustness is achieved by means of passive central-ring protection and new monitoring and electronic compensation strategies over the PON, intelligently supervising and controlling the impairments that are present or can be present in a 10Gbit/s extended PON.

Bidirectional Transmission

Approach and basic modules

• WDM ring: Resilience• (up to 1.2Tbit/s)

• TDM trees

• Passive Remote Nodes (RN):

– Cascadable Add&Drop– 2-to-1 fibre interface– Remotely pumped (from

CO) optical amplification by EDFs

– Athermal splitters and fixed filters

• CO (OLT):– Centralizes the light generation and control– Stack of lasers serving TDM trees– Standard G/E-PON equipment adapted to

SARDANA

• Simple colourless ONU:

– In line with techno-economical guidelines


How does SARDANA work?• The CO sends WDM signals to

the Remote Nodes (RN)

• Each RN drops all channels

• Signals pass a 50/50 splitter for resilience (signal can be dropped form each direction, and upstream signal is transmitted in both directions)

• 50/50 provides signals to 2 TDM trees at 2 different channels

• Assigned channels are selected by filters

• Signals are amplified by EDFs (the Remote Node receives the Pumping Power for the EDFs remotely, from the WDM ring)

• The amplified signals are transmitted to the ONUs

Colorless ONUs• Colorless ONU for Low-cost access network

– ONU represents about 80% of network cost* (excluding P2P)

– Colorless ONU for decreasing:• Costs of operation, administration, maintenance functions• Price by mass production of just one ONU specification

• Reflective for operating in a single-fiber to the user

• Technologies: – Reflective SOA,... – Potentially low cost Tunable Lasers,…

*: R.I. Martinez et al, “A Low Cost Migration Path Towards Next Generation Fiber-To-The-Home Networks”, ONDM 2007, LNCS 4534, pp 86-95 (2007)


Conclusions & Further research• Basic feasibility shown by transmission measurements:

– Highly Flexible and Scalable Network Architecture

– High user-density (>1000) & Long reach (100 km) in worse case, checking resilience capability at 1G by 10dB power budget improvement

– Single-fiber access & Fully PASSIVE fiber plant

– Using RSOA-ONU as a cost-effective implementation

– High Bandwidth per user by means of 10Gbps/2.5Gbps half-duplex system

• A lot to do…– Gain stabilization of remote EDFs, pump power reduction…

– Increase robustness by electronic compensation strategies and intelligent monitoring and controlling of impairments

– Full demonstrator building, MAC implementation & Field trial

– … to be done in the next step…


Final Outcomes
