Session Description:
Imagine a next-generation passive optical network (PON) technology that addresses the ever-growing need for more capacity and does so in a scalable, cost-effective and efficient manner that leverages existing infrastructure, creates new service opportunities and enhances the user experience. This is the promise of applying coherent optics technology to PON, which will be a game changer for operators of all types, including cable and traditional telcos. Recognizing the transformative potential, CableLabs brought together industry leaders – operators and manufacturers – to create this interoperable blueprint for the future we refer to as Coherent PON (CPON). Please join us as we provide a first sneak peek at critical aspects of this new technology that will serve as the future of broadband.
