This Recommendation is intended to:
• Describe flexible access networks using optical fibre technology. The focus is primarily on
a network to support services including POTS, data, video, leased line and distributive
services.
• Describe characteristics of a Passive Optical Network (PON) with the capability of
transporting various services between the user-network interface and the service node
interface.
• Concentrate on the fibre issues. The copper issues of hybrid systems are described
elsewhere, e.g., xDSL standardization.
• Cover Transmission Convergence (TC) issues between the service node interface and the
user-network interface.
• Deal with specifications for frame format, media access control method, ranging method,
OAM functionality and security in G-PON networks.
