Proceeding of EPON Interoperability – Theme of China Telecom speech section
As one of the promising FTTH implementation, EPON have developed rapidly and has be deployed in large scale. Interoperation is critical for the success and deployment of EPON widely. In order to speed up the development of EPON technology, China Telecom initiated an EPON IOP workgroup. The IOP of EPON systems can be divided into 3 levels: Datalink-level IOP, Service-level IOP and OAM-level IOP. Those factors influencing the interoperability of EPON systems, such as MPCP, encryption, DBA, QoS, OAM, etc., are presented. China Telecom published a Technical specification for EPON interoperability with some creative ideas. These mainstream EPON chipset vendors developed new version of EPON chipset according to the new IOP spec. The test results showed that the interoperability between these chipsets was achieved with good performance. This event shows us the first light of the morning of full-maturity and mass deployment of EPON technology.

GPON - More than Just a Faster PON – Theme of Broadlight speech section
Although GPON’s most famous feature is its downstream rate of 2488 Mbps, its GPON’s architecture and upstream Quality of Service (QoS) functions that offer real transport capability for high quality voice, high bandwidth IPTV and data along with support for legacy business services. Although GPON is considerably faster than other TDM PONs, is it fast enough? Does it have the right QoS mechanisms to ensure that upstream high speed services don’t starve high QoS applications? An examination will provide answers to these questions.

EPON – The Winning Solution for FTTx Networks – Enabling Advanced Video Services While Supporting Traditional Voice and Data
EPON is winning the PON debate based on performance, cost and flexibility. EPON provides complete end-to-end traffic management matching ATM-like performance while doing so less expensively. It enables the service provider to move to a single multi-service network, decreasing CAPEX and OPEX while supporting advanced services. EPON is field-proven with millions of port deployments around the world. The EPON market is large and growing with an expanding ecosystem ranging from component manufacturers to system integrators.

China Netcom. - The technical choices and application strategies of optical access
Ethernet Passive Optical Network（EPON）system, combining with Ethernet’s high bandwidth & PON’s high reliability ,is becoming one of the best candidate of home & aboard broadband network construction. It can accommodate Internet, Voice, Video (both IPTV & RF TV) access with a single infrastructure, and be deployed in FTTH,FTTB/O & mobile 2G/2.5G/3G base station access etc. With advanced QoS mechanism, not only IP based services, but TDM services such as E1/T1 could transport reliable and fluently in EPON. As to traditional telecom operators, EPON helps you to expand your profitable areas with good care of existing network equipments; to competitive operators, it brings much more convenience when introducing new services without adding any circuit switch equipment. With multi-service EPON system, “Time to market，time to profit” is becoming true.
