Abstract :
An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) passive optical network (PON) system that is suitable for an early introduction into the local loop and is compatible with the target broadband integrated services digital network (B-ISDN) is described. Its technical feasibility has been evaluated on a demonstrator, the main results of which are presented. Some possible applications and evolutions of such a system are given
