Introduction to Broadband Passive Optical Networks
This white paper provides some background on fiber-based broadband access technologies and a tutorial overview of the two most popular very high-speed PON access network standards: the ITU-T G.984 series Gigabit PON (GPON) and IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet PON (EPON) standards. GPON has been selected by most North America and European telephone network providers, while EPON is currently being mass deployed by some major Asian telephone network providers.

paper

ATCA Design Considerations for Telecommunication Platforms
This whitepaper reviews the Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA or ATCA) standard and the benefits that it delivers to Original Equipment Manufactures (OEMs) and Carriers. ATCA addresses the market need for cost optimization at the system and infrastructure levels by enabling an ecosystem of carrier-grade off-the shelf chassis, I/O and processing blades. This paper describes some of the hardware...
