The Path not Traveled – An analysis of modern PON technologies in the evolutionary path of HFC networks
- Conducting a comparative analysis of 10G PON, 25G PON, 50G PON, and 100G Coherent PON technologies in terms of technical merits, deployment scenarios, and economic considerations
- Analyzing various models of internet usage and how each technology can address escalating bandwidth requirements.
- Developing a framework to select the most appropriate PON technology tailored to the specific needs of new deployments and the upgrade paths for existing networks

FTTH Distance and Density Considerations
- Understanding how the location of the deployment opportunity drives different optical transport considerations
- Examining the scalability and economics of deploying targeted remote Optical Line Terminal (OLT) solutions vs. larger cabinet or facility-based OLTs
- Exploring how a distance and density-based decision tree can assist with network planning and estimating
