10. New Generation EPON (NGEPON)
10Gbps EPON is the future of PON and a superior
solution to 2.5 Gbps GPON (which is still unavailable).
IEEE 802.3 Working Group created to develop a 10 Gbps
PHY for EPON.
No other changes to the other EPON sublayers.
Standard expected to be complete within 12 months.
Alloptic plans to deliver NGEPON via:
Our existing edge2000 chassis using new 10Gbps
OLT linecards and a new higher capacity SCM.

Alloptic, Inc. Proprietary Page 14 May 2, 2006
16. Solution Description
OLT (Optical Line Terminal)
The OLT would be installed in the street cabinet where the
services would be made available
Use edge200: 2 PONs, 2 Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports, 2 Ethernet
ports, 4 E1 ports, 2 optical input ports for RF video
ONU (Optical Network Unit)
The ONU would be installed inside a weather-tight enclosure
either on a pole or on a house wall
Use home4000: 4 Ethernet ports, 4 POTS, RF video output
Each ONU would serve 2 homes making available 2 Ethernet
ports and 2 POTS ports per home, plus RF video using a RF 1:2
splitter
48 ONUs total, 24 on each PON

20. IP Services Solution
OLT
The edge200 has 2 Fast Ethernet and 2 Gigabit Ethernet uplink
ports making available to the service provider a scalable uplink
connection
ONU
From the 2 Ethernet ports available per home we suggest to
provision 1 for IPTV and the other for Data and VoIP using a
small router or SIP ATA in each home
The 1 Gbps bandwidth per PON divided per 48 homes (if equally
distributed) will give a little over 20 Mbps per subscriber, what is
enough for IPTV, Internet, VoiIP, online gamming, movies and
music downloads and many other services
Alloptic, Inc. Proprietary Page 20 May 2, 2006
21. IPTV Solution
OLT
Alloptic has been working with IPTV Since 2001 and delivered
one of first live IPTV deployments over PON at Western Power
Australia in 2003
ONU
The ONU Ethernet ports can be exclusively (recommended), or
not, provisioned to deliver IPTV
Under the proposed topology each home will have over 20 Mbps
of bandwidth that can transport up to 4 simultaneous IPTV
channels (on unicast mode – VoD) and still have over 2 Mbps
available for other services
IPTV provisioning features include maximum number of channels
per port, number of channels alarm threshold, and secure Set-top
Box among others

23. RF Video Solution
OLT
The edge200 has 1 optical RF Video input port per PON for video
broadcast
The video signal has to be converted to optical and amplified
before injecting into the PON. The optical amplifier output power
has to be defined based on the PON optical losses
Alloptic’s solution support both analog and digital video
modulation and is HDTV ready
RF video broadcast is done over 1550nm wavelength and does
not consume the 1 Gbps bandidth
ONU
The ONU has 1 integrated RF electrical output that has to be
splitted to serve 2 homes
Alloptic’s integrated RF receiver is designed for frequency
response for 50-870 MHz (full CATV spectrum)

29. Alloptic edge200 Chassis
The Alloptic edge200 is the head-end controller for the Alloptic access system. It is a 16 gigabit Ethernet switch, a 2
PON OLT, and a TDM cross connect combined into a 2RU hardened package. All voice, data and video services are
connected to the edge200 which then forwards them through a PON fiber to the appropriate ONU service port at the
subscriber’s location. The edge200 is compatible to all Alloptic ONUs and is manages software and configuration
information for the whole network as well as supporting network management and system timing functions.

35. RF Video with Return Path
If return path is required by CATV operator a 2-fiber infrastructure
topology is necessary as the TV return path is done over the same
wavelength as data upstream: 1310nm.
OLT
In this case the OLT won’t need the video inputs as video
broadcast will use its own fiber to get to the homes
ONU
The ONU won’t require the integrated RF receiver
Video Transceiver
A Video Transceiver will be used to receive broadcasted signal
and to transmit upstream return path
Alloptic’s transceiver is compatible with DOCSIS 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0
allowing cable operator to deliver full service
The transceiver is connected directly to cable modem through its
coaxial port

Alloptic video products convert optical RF signals to coax CATV signals that can be distributed in single family home using
standard CATV splitters and amplifiers. They can be used stand-alone, or be used in conjunction with all Alloptic home
ONUs. Receive only and transceiver with return path versions are available. The 3rd lambda receivers can share the same
