(Telecompaper) Huawei said that its optical access innovation lab has developed a 100G-Passive Optical Network (100G-PON) optical access. The new ultra-broadband technology uses a hybrid time-division and wavelength-division architecture to support a 4x25 Gbps downstream rate and a 4x10 Gbps upstream rate, enabling 100 Gbps access rate per port on existing optical distribution networks (ODNs). The technology also establishes compatibility between 100G PON and GPON/10GPON/40G TWDM PON. Huawei said the system will be able to meet the increasing demands of home bandwidth, including cloud services, smart home services and 4K or 8K ultra-high definition videos. The 100G-PON system can also support backhaul for Fibre to the Curb/Basement/Office and mobile stations. The new technology was successfully tested over a 20 km transmission. Huawei said it is confident the system will be able to support 200 Gbps per port by supporting more wavelength paths.
