This book presents fundamental passive optical network (PON)
concepts, providing you with the tools needed to understand,
design, and build these new access networks. The logical sequence
of topics begins with the underlying principles and components of
optical fiber communication technologies used in access networks.
Next, the book progresses from descriptions of PON and
fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) alternatives to their application to
fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks and, lastly, to essential
measurement and testing procedures for network installation and
maintenance.
An Instructor’s Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the
problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial
department.
