Overview:
The paper discusses recent progress in the development of optically amplified, long reach passive optical networks, which aim to significantly reduce network complexity and cost by integrating metro and access into a single, all-optical communication system. Fiber-To-The-Premises (FTTP) has been envisaged for a long time as an attractive future access technology for delivering high bandwidths to customers. However, until recently the development and widespread deployment of copper-based broadband solutions such as digital subscriber line and cable modem had slowed down its introduction. Now, demand for new high bandwidth services such as Internet Protocol (IP) television and video on demand, as well as changing competitive and regulatory forces, are beginning to drive the deployment of fiber access networks around the world.
