Cbo Deutschland21 Jan, 2025Business

As part of the efforts to extend Ethernet optical subscriber access, specialists from the IEEE 802.3 group and Google Fiber collaborated to develop the Super-PON technology. Originally initiated as a study group, Super-PON has now been fully standardized under IEEE Std 802.3cs-2022. This technology supports up to 10 Gbps symmetrical data transfer rates. The standardized solution allows a headend to service up to 1024 client connections over distances of up to 50 km, utilizing DWDM spectral multiplexing technology
