The evolution of Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) and future trends

The tremendous Internet traffic growth has confirmed that the telecommunications backbone is moving aggressively from a time division multiplexing (TDM) orientation to a focus on Ethernet solution. Ethernet PON, which presents the convergence of low-cost Ethernet and fiber infrastructures, has taken...
