Hi, I've been reading a little about passive optic networks and the
idea is very good from my stand point.
As far as I have understood, the idea is to use the fiber as it was
coax, doing some kind of FDM (frequency division multiplexing) with
the lambdas (somehow the same). This would give us the capability
to move at leat n x 10mbps ethernet on the same fiber using diferent
lambdas for each customer, until power budget goes down.
If the idea is correct, this would mean "next jump" on bandwidth.
Who would be making this "ethernet/lambda multiplexors" right
now? Is it feasible to do it today? or should we wait a little more?
I mean, there are solutions using packet over sonet or alike, but
pure ethernet?
