Perfectly Designed for FTTx Applications
PLANET EPL-4000 GEPON Optical Line Terminal (OLT) consists of four
GEPON ports, four 1G/10G shared SFP+ ports, four GbE RJ45 interfaces and
one management port. It is easy to install and maintain a GEPON deployment.
With PLANET GEPON Optical Network Unit (ONU) EPN series, the EPL-4000
can provide highly-effective GEPON solutions and convenient management for
broadband network. PLANET GEPON technology provides a high bandwidth of
up to 1.25Gbps for both upstream and downstream, long-distance coverage of up
to 20km between equipment nodes, and flexibility for network deployment. It is a
cost-effective access technology with reliable and scalable network for triple-play
service applications.
High-speed and Long-distance Coverage for Triple Play Services
With growing network services such as HDTV, IPTV, voice-over-IP (VoIP) and
multimedia broadband applications, the demand for broadband use rises quickly.
The present broadband environment has not accorded with needs; however,
Passive Optical Network (PON) would be the most promising NGN (Next
Generation Networking) technology to fulll the demand.
High Split Ratio for a Cost-effective Network Solution
The EPL-4000 is an ideal solution for FTTx applications. It helps to minimize
the investment cost for carriers by offering a high split ratio of 1:64 per port
and supporting the usage of PLANET ONUs. The EPL-4000 provides strong
functionalities for Ethernet features such as VLAN, Multicast, DBA (Dynamic
Bandwidth Allocation), and Access Control List, Besides GEPON, the point to
multipoint communications protocol is based on Gigabit Ethernet. GEPON protocol
allows a Gigabit Ethernet communications ber to be shared by multiple end users
using a passive optical splitter. GEPON communication takes place between an
Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and multiple Optical Network Units (ONUs). Using
standard terminology, downstream traffic flows from OLT to ONU, and upstream
traffic flows from ONU to OLT. A protocol called Multi Point Control Protocol
(MPCP) is used to arbitrate the channel between the ONUs so that no collisions
will occur on the common ber.
