Get your GPON vendor to provide the proof.

Mark, I'm working on a grant application and they are wanting to see proof (and 
a PE stamp) on the design that it will meet performance requirements for X 
years. I'm very comfortable with GPON at a 32 split or less being fine for 
probably at least 8+ years.  Just was asking if there is an industry standard 
way of calculating this or if everyone doesn't worry about it. I suppose it 
would be much more relevant if we were proposing a VDSL system instead of FTTH.

  Chris,

  Does it really matter?  If you are AE you get 1GB per customer dedicated.  
Not too hard or expensive to to bump that to 10GB per customer dedicated.  GPON 
does 2.5Gbps per pon usually shared by 32 customers.  New 10 Gbps PON will do 
10 per pon or I've even heard that they can do 40Gbps per pon using different 
wave lengths.

  Our system has been up and running for 6+ years.  I've had to upgrade 
switches and routers.  Even had to upgrade to sfp+ uplink cards on one of my 
fiber systems.  Haven't had to touch GPON cards or customer ONT's.  In my 
system I see the 2.5Gbps PON lasting for many many years unless something 
drastic happens.

       Is there any standard or common rule of thumb to design for future usage 
when designing a FTTH deployment? As in, we estimate average usage per sub to 
be 2Mbps now and increase by 40% per year. The intent being to certify that 
your design will meet demand for say 10 years.
