GPON versus Ethernet-PtP: Vendor Interoperability

GPON
GPON is standardized acc. ITU-T G.984.2
In practice there is no interoperability between
different GPON vendors given ONT <> OLT
Due to system aspects also in future the optimal
performance of a GPON system can only provided
by one vendor delivering the ONT and OLT
Ethernet-PtP
Optical Ethernet Interfaces are standardized acc.
IEEE 802.3
Interoperability has been proven in practice by lots
of vendors for years due to optical Ethernet
interfaces are used in transport networks for a long
time

For ONTs taking more than one timeslot (upstream),
bandwidth for other users need to be reduced or
oversubscription has to be activated (DBA)

Comparison: Power Consumption Basic Information

GPON
Due to the splitter inside the passive network the

laser power is much higher on OLT and ONT side
The optical splitter has the same insertion loss in
both directions and depends on the splitting factor
(32-fold splitter: ca. 17 dB)
GPON needs about 22 W per GPON port
32-fold splitter: 0.7 W per port

16-fold splitter: 1.4 W per port
GPON simple CPE: 10 W consumption

PtP Ethernet
New low power designs require less laser power:
KEYMILE typical 1.5 W for 100 Mbps
Ethernet PtP simple CPE: 3 W consumption

Todays optical fibres (single mode) have an almost
