The SuperPON is an extension of the concept of the passive optical network (PON) based
on the use of optical amplifiers which greatly increase the available power budget. This extra …

Communication networks' energy consumption poses a considerable threat to the
environment stability. The expansion of access networks, which constitute the main …

The cost of a dedicated fiber access to the B-ISDN is too high for small business and
residential customers, necessitating some form of resource sharing. Combining ATM over a …

With the expansion of services offered over the Internet, the “last mile” bottleneck problems
continue to exacerbate. Passive Optical Network (PON) is a technology viewed by many as …

SuperPONs are access systems based on optical tree infrastructure. They are an extension
of APONs (ATM-based passive optical networks), from which they differ mostly by their size …

Passive Optical Networks offer quite promising results in terms of cost, robustness, flexibility
and traffic concentration. The addition of Optical Amplifiers, overcame the optical budget …

One of the most promising architecture for the future integrated services network is probably
the APON (ATM over PON) system. More than offering the advantages of PON it allows for a …

Due to the rapid growth of Internet with new generation of services and applications,
demand for faster and cheaper access network has been rising. To address the present and …

Earlier efforts on optical access concentrated on the design of PONs for the collection and
distribution portion of the access network. A possible evolution scenario for these types of …
