Next-generation access systems will have to provide bandwidths in excess of 100 Mb/s per residential customer, in conjunction with high customer count and high maximum reach. Potential systems solutions include several variants of WDM-PONs. These systems, however, differ significantly in their cost (capital expenditures) and energy consumption potential. We compare several WDM-PON concepts, including hybrid WDM-PON with integrated per-wavelength multiple access, with regard to these parameters. We also show the impact and importance of generic next-generation bandwidth and reach requirements.
