Provider of optical communication products, Source Photonics, has introduced a new series of Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) GPON ONT and OLT transceivers. The products offer a cost-efficient solution to broaden the capacity to 10Gb/s or above in gigabit passive optical networks.
The GPON OLT and ONT are based on the present GPON technology, which utilizes numerous Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing channels to extend the total capacity of the network in a single fiber. The Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing offers a versatile network infrastructure, allowing improved bandwidth from 1.25 to 6.25 Gb/s upstream and from 2.5 to 12.5Gb/s downstream. The GPON transceivers comply with the GPON ITU standard G.984.2.
The new CWDM GPON products complement the present generation of 10 GEPON and 10 GPON products. The products are expected to be introduced for production by 2011.
Source Photonics’ Senior Director of Product Line Management, Darron Young stated that the CWDM GPON transceivers will enable service providers to increase their bandwidth capacity with minimal investment.
The CWDM GPON transceivers will be showcased at the China International Optoelectronic Exhibition (CIOE). The event will be held from 6 to 9 September 2010.
