Abstract

We propose a PON repeater system which transports multiple PON channels at the same time over the physical limit of the standard E-PON reach. To increase the physical reach up to 60km, we used the O-E-O (optic-electric-optic) signal regeneration on an active remote terminal which is placed between a central office and passive remote nodes. Also, by incorporating the well-established WDM technology to aggregate multiple E-PON channels, we successfully increased the split ratio (the number of subscribers per fiber core) to over 256.
