Abstract

FTTH service has been deployed since last year in the single dwelling unit environment. FTTH based on PON technology has many advantages in OPEX compared to FTTC solutions using the BBx. But this is not the case for the MDU environment where new wiring of the fiber cable in the customer premises network costs a lot of money. The purpose of Hybrid-FTTH is to overcome this problem by preserving the wiring environment of the customer premises environment in MDU but still guarantee the quality of service provided by FTTH. In this thesis, we present Hybrid-FTTH technology, especially focused on the DWDM-PON based Hybrid-FTTH technology and its development status.
