Abstract :
We propose a multi-port EPON repeater with reconfigurable matrix switch not only to extend EPON reach but also to increase subscriber occupancy rate for OLT. We also confirm through the numerical calculations that the proposed reconfigurable architecture is feasible to effectively suppress initial installation cost in suburb and rural areas.
