Network operators are looking for comprehensive solutions to address their challenges around deploying fiber in the access network: Outside Plant/Optical Distribution Network costs and Passive Optical Network reach limitations. This business case outlines a pluggable mixed PON/active architecture based on Ciena’s Universal Aggregation solution, which allows operators to achieve more CAPEX savings and greater PON reach extension when compared to traditional PON architecture for optical splitting ratios.
