Description
Passive optical network (PON) technologies have become an important broadband access technology as a result of the growing demand for bandwidth-hungry video-on-demand applications. Written by the leading researchers and industry experts in the field, Passive Optical Networks provides coherent coverage of networking technologies, fiber optic transmission technologies, as well as the electronics involved in PON system development.
Features:
An in-depth overview of PON technologies and the potential applications that they enable
Comprehensive review of all major PON standards and architecture evolutions, as well as their pros and cons
Balanced coverage of recent research findings with economic and engineering considerations
Presents system issues of protocols, performance, management and protection
Extensive references to standards and research materials for further studies
This book provides an authoritative overview of PON technologies and system requirements and is ideal for engineers and managers in industry, university researchers, and graduate students.

Person
Cedric Lam was co-founder of Google Fiber which changed the landscape of broadband access networks in North America with the introduction of nationwide Gigabit FTTH networks. Cedric has experience both in product development and in engineering service provider networks. He started his career with AT&T and later joined Opvista, a startup company building high-capacity optical transport equipment, as chief system architect. After Opvista, he joined Google to work on datacenter networks before embarking the effort on Google Fiber, where he was Engineering Director, leading the Architecture and Device Engineering team. He is now Principal Engineer in Google's Technical Infrastructure team, leading the development of datacenter network architectures and the development of network generation optical interconnects for datacenter networks. Cedric is a member of the CORD Technical Steering Team, and Fellow of Optica. He also edited the first textbook in PON: Passive Optical Networks, Principles and Practice, Academic Press, 2007.
