“…Several options including the WDM-PONs (Kani, 2010;Grobe and Elbers, 2008), hybrid TDM/WDM-PONs (Hyun et al, 2010), FiWi (Ghazisaidi and Maier, 2011;Tsagklas and Pavlidou, 2011), Advanced Modulation Techniques (AMTs) (Kamijoh et al, 2009;Chang et al, 2009), TDM-Based LR-OANs ( Van de Voorde et al, 2000;Shea and Mitchell, 2007b), TDM/CWDM-Based LR-OANs and TDM/DWDM-Based LR-OANs (Talli and Townsend, 2006;Shea and Mitchell, 2007c;Jung et al, 2012;Syuhaimi et al, 2013) were reviewed. Although many of these proposed architectures are interesting from the technical perspective, the cost, bandwidth per user and the number of accommodated subscribers remain the dominant factors for commercial success.…”

“…The project was mainly based on a potential upgrade to the G.983 architecture (broadband PON, BPON), including an increased split ratio (2048), longer range (100 km) and Science Publications AJAS higher bit rates (2.5 Gbps downstream and 311 Mbps upstream) (Van De Voorde et al, 2000). To increase the splitting ratio and extend the range, optical amplifiers were used in both the downstream and the upstream directions.…”

The ever-increasing demand for broader bandwidth per user, which results from the continuous development of new bandwidth-hungry services and applications, creates the motivation to upgrade the currently deployed Time-Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Networks (TDM-PONs) to NextGeneration Optical Access Networks (NG-OANs). Beside the need for more bandwidth per user, a further extension in the range and an increase in the split ratio are highly desirable in PONs. These additional requirements can be achieved by adopting so-called Long-Reach Optical Access Networks (LR-OANs). LR-OANs offer a promising solution that ensures a significant number of users can be supported over a longer range. Moreover, they introduce a cost-effective approach in which both the access and metro segments of the telecommunication network are combined into one backhaul segment, which results in the consolidation of many central offices into one trunk-exchange. This cost-effective approach gave us the motivation to provide a comprehensive survey on the LR-OANs. In this study, we first provide a brief review of different potential technologies, proposed for next-generation optical access. We then provide a review of different stat-of-the-art LR-OAN architectures including opportunities and challenges in each one. A comparison among them based on key network specification is also provided.

“…The project consisted of a consortium of telecoms operators and suppliers working in parallel to develop a cost-effective, full service access network. Entitled super passive optical network (SuperPON), the architecture -developed by investigating possible upgrades to the G.983 broadband PON (BPON) architecture -includes a large splitting factor and long-reach [3]. Findings of an economic study carried out as part of PLANET, revealed that FTTH was a cheaper option than fiber to the cabinet (FTTC) [3].…”

“…Providing FTTH through SuperPON was more cost-effective than BPON as customers share a large part of the network. Operation and maintenance costs are 70 percent lower for FTTH compared with FTTC [3]. Ser-vice and capacity requirements were studied, including a geographical evaluation that resulted in the split size being set at 2048 and the range set at 100 km for SuperPON [3].…”

“…Entitled super passive optical network (SuperPON), the architecture -developed by investigating possible upgrades to the G.983 broadband PON (BPON) architecture -includes a large splitting factor and long-reach [3]. Findings of an economic study carried out as part of PLANET, revealed that FTTH was a cheaper option than fiber to the cabinet (FTTC) [3]. This seems counter intuitive as FTTC requires less fiber to be installed but involves extra cost for the housing of the optical network unit (ONU) at a street location rather than the customer premises.…”

Internet broadband penetration has increased globally as a result of various fiber optic technologies employed.Nigeria fiber optic network is massive and very enterprising because the nation has great potentials in utilizing Internet broadband bandwidths as the largest Black Country in the world. The country presently has active submarine fiber optic cables connecting the country to the world through Europe with huge Internet broadband capacities. However, the Internet broadband penetration in the country is still very low with about 10% of the Oceanic Optical fiber capacities utilized and just 6% of fiber optic broadband penetration. This paper reviews the present state of fiber optics Internet broadband network penetration in Nigeria looking at the spread of fiber optic networks in the country, the application of the fiber optic technologies and the challenges of deploying fiber optic technologies for Internet broadband penetration in Nigeria. The paper classified the fiber optic network in Nigeria into the core, the backbone/backhaul and the access/last-mile fiber optic networks. The core fiber optic network is the oceanic fiber optic from Europe and Cameroun while the backbone fiber optic network is the fiber to the states and to central offices/ISPs. The access/last-mile fiber network is the fiber optic to the base transmission stations and the end users. It can be deduced from this paper that the last mile fiber optic network in the country is still very low and over 99% of the Internet penetration in the country is through the wireless mobile phones.
