Abstract :
Efficient evolution methods maintaining exisiting legacy PON services and fiber infrastructure are discussed for next-generation access networks. A user-by-user evolution from legacy PONs to NG-PONs and reuse of video-overlay wavelength band for NGPON are demonstrated with remotely reconfigurable remote nodes.
