The 10G TWDM-PON standardized in 2014 as G.989 has largely underperformed in the marketplace. There are various reasons why this came to pass, such as that the market didn't need the upgrade at that moment, and that single channel 50G systems became technically practical. Currently, there are investigations into the 50G version of TWDM-PON based on conventional coherent technology. This may see more success because the coherent link is inherently tunable, and its high sensitivity permits more deployment flexibility. On the other hand, if the reduction of the penalty due to chromatic dispersion and the provision of wavelength tunability and selectivity can be realized in a cost-effective manner, the application of IMDD technology can be a good candidate. This can facilitate the deployment of this system as a special services overlay (and not a mass-market upgrade). At this stage, many technical features of this system are being developed, and this panel will consider the current status and future outlook.
The key discussions to address in this panel are:
- Technical solutions under consideration for use in a 50 Gb/s TWDM-PON, such as coherent and advanced IM-DD
- New service applications and network architectures that are enabled by TWDM-PON
- Progress in standardization of such systems to promote widespread adoption
- Commercial prospects for such a system, including market size and techno-economic factors
