FTTX Concepts and Applications
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Feb 2006, Pages: 293
The book relates to the new cost-effective optical fiber networks that companies such as Verizon, SBC, and Bell South are starting to install. They plan to spend several billion dollars on new Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) in the next few years and already have started the proposal process for that. As a beginning, Verizon has allocated $1B for FTTP in 2004. In addition, many organizations in Europe and Asia currently are implementing such networks, as was described by various papers at OFC. This is the only book on the market that presents a complete view of passive optical networks. The topics range from the underlying principles and components of optical fiber communication links, through descriptions of fundamental PON types and operations, to their application to fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks, and finally to essential measurement and test procedures required during network installation and maintenance.
The ever-growing requests for more bandwidth from applications running over the Internet are driving the need to upgrade access networks with high-capacity connections. This book presents fundamental passive optical network (PON) concepts, providing readers with the tools needed to understand, design, and build these new access networks. The logical sequence of topics begins with the underlying principles and components of optical fiber communication technologies used in access networks. Next, the book progresses from descriptions of PON and fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) alternatives to their application to fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks and, lastly, to essential measurement and testing procedures for network installation and maintenance.
A wealth of practical material and special features enables readers to grasp the differences among the major types of PON architectures and identify the pros and cons of FTTX alternatives, including:
- A detailed overview of optical cables, passive components, and transceivers needed to implement FTTP networks
- Illustrations of FTTP implementation criteria in different categories of neighborhoods, optical power budget analysis for network designs, and options for supplying electrical power to customer equipment
- Discussions of FTTP cable plan implementations, including cabling interfaces and enclosures in the central office, cables and equipment enclosures in the outside plant, and optical cable installation procedures
- Descriptions of measurement techniques and troubleshooting guidelines for verifying that networks have been configured properly
With global telecommunications companies racing to install cost-effective FTTP networks, this is essential reading for engineers and managers involved in telecommunications and signal processing. Moreover, the 126 homework problems make this an excellent textbook for senior-level courses covering the principles and applications of PON technology.
