Next-gen applications like HD IPTV will demand much more bandwidth than current broadband access technologies provide. 10G IEEE 802.3av EPON technology offers a ten-fold leap in bandwidth to 10 Gbit/s in the broadband access network over fiber while providing core protocol compatibility with current 1G EPON solutions. PMC-Sierra offers the industry's only complete reference designs for 10G EPON Optical Line Terminals (OLT) and Optical Network Units (ONU). The reference designs integrate all the functionality required from an OLT and ONU running at 10Gbit/s, including third party commercial transceivers, and leverage our market-leading EPON capabilities to improve system performance and reduce OEMs’ time to market. Visit the PMC-Sierra News Room As the next generation of PMC-Sierra’s market leading 1G EPON devices, these solutions fully coexist with more than six million EPON ONUs deployed worldwide that are based on our devices.
Demonstrating 10G EPON Technology
PMC-Sierra is also the first company to demonstrate 10G EPON. The demonstration—based on our complete reference designs for 10Gbit/s EPON—was conducted in May 2008.
