An operator’s point of view on 5G X-Haul transport and P2MP applicability

Autor: Albert Rafel

Publikováno v: OSA Advanced Photonics Congress 2021.

5G requires large amount of fibers because of high densities and co-existence with legacy generations. Existence of cell clusters enables large cost savings using P2MP infrastructure. Specific technology depends on RAN configuration and cell capacity

Novel Low Cost PON Protection via Harvested Power

Autor: Neil Parkin, Albert Rafel

Publikováno v: OFC

PON protection is costly due to the necessary redundant equipment. We describe a method utilising harvested optical power and show test results using commercial equipment, which prove protection could be provided at very low cost.
