FTTx using Ethernet PON
Expanding your access network in increase capacity
For service providers that want to offer symmetrical and multi-gigabit downstream services to residential customers, deploying an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) with a centralized or distributed architecture delivers ease of integration for their existing network.
By utilizing EPON with fiber to the home (FTTH), service providers can lower operational costs, maximize their investments and increase revenue with high-value commercial services customers.
Challenges and opportunities
Fiber Deep
Working toward an N+0 architecture can be challenging. CommScope offers a number of easy-to-install solutions to help expand your fiber network efficiently and effectively.
DPoE
Using DOCSIS provisioning over Ethernet (DPoE), service providers can program their network to deliver promised service using optical line terminals (OLT) and optical network units (ONU) instead of cable modem termination system (CMTS) and cable modems (CM).
Why CommScope?
Global Distribution
CommScope operates more than 30 manufacturing and distribution facilities around the world to make sure you can get what you want on time and on budget.
