description Next generation broadband access networks are gaining more interest from many key players in this field. The demands for more extended reach and higher bandwidth are among the driving factors for such a network. The advantages of this network include a wider coverage area reaching 100 km, even beyond; increased bandwidth capacity and transmission speed, but with low cost and energy consumption. One promising candidate is the Long Reach Passive Optical Network (LR-PON). LR-PON is a term that refers to the consolidation of the metro and the access networks in the traditional PON, which also means the merger of the multiple Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) and the Central Offices (CO) in the network. LR-PON can simplify the network by reducing the number of network elements, equipment interfaces, and even nodes which significantly reduces the network’s Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX).
