1.1.BBandwidth Requirementsandwidth Requirements1. The number of subscribers.2. Bandwidth for each subscriber. 3. Bandwidth Calculation:4. Actual Average Bandwidth = Bandwidth for each User x

Network Concurrent Rate x Online Rate or Actual Total Bandwidth = Bandwidth for each Subscriber x The Number of Subscribers x Network Concurrent Rate xNumber of Subscribers x Network Concurrent Rate x Online Rate

5. According to the effective bandwidth of each PON gport(about 900M) calculate the number of PON cards.

6. Distribute different bandwidth for different users according to the situation.

7. Reserve bandwidth for update if needed.

2.2.SSplitting Architectureplitting Architecture

1 The splitting architecture is depend on the distribution of1. The splitting architecture is depend on the distribution of the users, and the need of service providing.

2. Decide 1-stage splitting or 2-stage splitting.3. Consider average splitting or not. Generally in EPON

system PLC splitter will be used for equal optical power di ision and FBT splitter for neq al optical po er di isiondivision and FBT splitter for unequal optical power division.The comparison as follows:

1 EPON can support a transmitting distance for about 201. EPON can support a transmitting distance for about 20 km under 1:32 splitting ratio, and about 10 km under 1:64 splitting ratio.

2. The distance mainly depends on the optical loss. The higher the optical loss is, the shorter the transmitting distance will bedistance will be.

3. If the transmitting distance of cable is more than 2 km, fiber splicing should be taken into account.

4. For nodes in different distances we may use FBT splitter to distribute more optical power for the further node and less optical power for the nearer node thusnode and less optical power for the nearer node thus make sure all the nodes can get enough optical power.
