Access Network Technology Market Requirements

China's access network technology is developing very rapidly, and the market demand is constantly increasing. Here we mainly introduce the integration of 10g gpon/EPON Access Network Technology for the unified xPON platform, this section describes how Any PON creates value for operators: It is applicable to full-service deployment. Shanghai Bell demonstrated its unified xPON Access Network Technology Platform at the just-concluded China International Communication exhibition, and achieved the perfect integration of GPON and EPON through the hybrid plug-in board. Shanghai Bell said the platform can cover a variety of existing and future PON access network technologies.

Li Zhe, director of Shanghai Bell cable Product Bidding solution department, said in an interview that based on the xPON unified platform, Shanghai Bell will be able to meet diversified needs and provide carrier customers with customized solutions, to help them avoid the risk of becoming a "Pipeline. At the same time, she also said that in fact Alcatel-Lucent (hereinafter referred to as "Alan") has already supported EPON, and in June this year, the 11.3 million-line China Unicom EPON collection bidding was launched by Shanghai Bell.

Unified xPON platform for 10g gpon/EPON Access Network Technology Convergence

Technically speaking, GPON access network technology has some advantages over EPON in terms of bandwidth efficiency, service bearer, management and maintenance quality. However, due to the first-mover advantage of EPON, the technology is more mature and the interconnection problem between devices has been solved. At present, it is still dominant in large-scale commercial use in China. Especially when China Telecom and China Unicom are being deployed on a large scale, the market capacity growth is astonishing.

Therefore, among the two mainstream technologies, many equipment vendors, such as Huawei, ZTE, and beacon Telecom, have adopted flexible strategies to support both GPON and EPON. The same is true for the unified xPON platform presented by Shanghai Bell. It is understood that the Shanghai Bell 7342 isam fttu unified platform can achieve point-to-point GPON and EPON technology integration by mixing boards on the same physical rack.

Based on this platform, Shanghai Bell also developed 10g gpon and 10g epon boards, Li said, it ensures smooth evolution to 10g gpon/10g epon on the existing xPON uniform platform, thus realizing the protection of the carrier's existing PON network investment. Arang has been engaged in the PON field for nearly 20 years, and millions of lines of products are running in the current network. Currently, nine of the top 10 major carriers have selected Arang devices and more than 95 large-scale commercial projects around the world.

Alang has already supported EPON

For a long time in the past, Shanghai Bell and its parent company Arang both appeared in the Chinese market as equipment vendors in the GPON access network technology camp. However, Li said that Alang had already supported EPON and Its xPON unified platform was launched before the communication exhibition.

"In fact, for equipment vendors, what kind of products are mainly from the market needs. The main reason why previous publicity tends to be GPON is that Alang is an international company and must meet the needs of major global operators, especially in the European and North American markets. Some products and solutions that do not have obvious requirements are not brought to China ." Li told C114.

"At that time, we had a lot of solutions to support ADSL, VDSL, and HDSL, but according to the needs of the Chinese market, only ADSL was used in China. In the past one or two years, the Chinese market has witnessed rapid growth of EPON and has gradually led the entire Asia-Pacific market to focus on it. We have also developed appropriate products to meet market demands in a timely manner ." According to reports, Shanghai Bell had received an EPON order last year, and Shanghai Bell was also involved in the China Unicom June this year-line EPON collection bidding in 11.3 million.

Any PON creates value for operators: fully applicable to full-service deployment

As the application prospects become increasingly clear, the Technical Boundaries between GPON and EPON access networks have become blurred. For operators, the technical route is no longer the bottleneck for the development of optical networks. They are more concerned with the solutions that can provide value for them.

The development of Internet applications drives the geometric growth of bandwidth. However, in the traditional model, the benefits of network providers are extremely limited. Alang's goal is to create an Application Enablement environment to promote network developers to create millions of applications that meet the credibility of end users, it allows operators to share the commercial opportunities brought about by Internet development, not just as a "Pipeline ".

In the access network technology field, Arang proposed the Any PON access network technology solution, which will gradually meet the HLN high performance and service enabling requirements. Li said that this development goal can be resolved into four directions: "One is to increase the access bandwidth of each user and develop to a peak of Mbps for each user; the other is to build a converged access network technology under a unified network architecture, including integration of fixed and mobile networks, integration of commercial customers and public customers; 3. Green access network technology, such as energy saving and emission reduction of over 25%; 4. Creating value through business enabling, create an efficient and high-energy access network." At the same time, according to reports, Alang Any PON has a series of characteristics such as stronger service support capability, larger capacity, wider coverage, more reliable system, and higher O & M efficiency, and is fully applicable to the full service deployment of operators.
