Tellabs and EXFO showcase network investment protection with 10G PON demo
A real-world example being how PON can more economically evolve a network to accommodate the oncoming bandwidth required for IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 wireless access points.
At BICSI Winter Conference, Tellabs and EXFO will showcase a more economic means to plan, build and operate a Passive Optical LAN that supports gigabit, 10 gigabit and future higher speeds
DALLAS, Feb. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tellabs, the leading provider of Passive Optical Network (PON) solutions, and EXFO, the communications industry’s test, monitoring and analytics experts (NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX: EXF), announces a live demonstration of the ever-increasing bandwidths possible over PON while preserving investment in existing fiber cabling, splitter, and equipment. This joint technology showcase is available for viewing at BICSI Winter Conference 2020 in Tampa, Florida, from February 10th through 12th by visiting the EXFO exhibitor booth #1031.
Tellabs and EXFO aim to validate to BICSI attendees that a fiber-based enterprise LAN, designed using PON technology, can cost effectively support one gigabit to ten gigabit connectivity speeds simultaneously over existing infrastructure to satisfy the constantly increasing network capacities demanded of today’s modern smart buildings. A real-world example being how PON can more economically evolve a network to accommodate the oncoming bandwidth required for IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 wireless access points.
Specifically, this interactive demonstration, at EXFO booth #1031, will stage the following technologies all over the same PON OLT, cabling, splitters and PON ONTs.
- XFP-based symmetric 10G XGS-PON and 2.5G G-PON at OLT
- 10G XGS-PON and 2.5G G-PON wavelengths across common network
- Both G-PON ONTs and XGS-PON ONTs over same infrastructure
- Flexible 1G, 2.5G, 5G and 10G multi-rate Ethernet connectivity at ONTs
- Centralized management with software defined LAN functionality
- Fiber monitoring, testing and troubleshooting best practices
“By supporting both XGS-PON and G-PON technologies over the same fiber-based infrastructure, the industry can now economically design, expand and operate smart building networks by minimizing future network expansion footprint, power and costs,” said John Hoover, Tellabs Marketing Director and APOLAN Board Director.
“This is a great opportunity for all the BICSI Winter attendees to get a look at the industry’s best fiber testing practices and see first-hand EXFO’s new test solutions for passive optical LANs,” said Jimmy Gagnon, EXFO Team Leader BDM.
