3PLAY over Broadband Technologies: G-PON Plugtest event
Event Description
The ITU G.984 GPON (Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network) standard enables line rates of 2.5 Gbps in the downstream direction (central office to customer) and 1.2 Gbps in the upstream direction (customer to central office). This allows network operators to efficiently handle bandwidth requirements for services like HD IPTV, online-gaming, Ethernet services, VoIP and TDM over fibre.
The main goal of this PLUGTESTSTM was to demonstrate the interoperability of GPON equipment at the service layer in a full OMCI (ONT Management & Control Interface) context. Detailed test cases were carried out to verify the provisioning of services in a multi-vendor environment.
The event was collocated with the 3Play over physical layers within the frame of the 3Play over Broadband Technologies.
