My friend knows something about Judo and he says IPPON always win... :-) I guess I'll have to google it a bit... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Johnson Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 7:44 PM To: Charles N Wyble Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] GPON Charles, APON vs GPON Verizon is installing GPON via there FIOS product in the east as of 2008, previously they were installing BPON. I cannot speak of the other providers PROs and CONs for deploying GPON to the desktop for a large CAN Power savings yes for the passive equipment but the OLTs and ONT/ONUs do require power as well as the managemnet systems required to provision.monitor etc .. Would it save power if there were no access switches in the mix? Instead of aggregating users to access switches build a PON, power requirements are then pushed to the desktop. Is this a better solution? does it really save power? increase/decrease cost per port? thanx for the input harbor235 ;} On 7/9/08, Charles N Wyble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hope the resource recommendation helps. :) > > Charles Wyble > > Mike Johnson wrote: > > Does anybody have any GPON experience on the list? > > > I don't have any hands on experience with GPON or any PON as of yet > unfortunately.
