Converged Wireline and Wireless Access Over a 78-km Deployed Fiber Long-Reach WDM PON

In this letter, we demonstrate a 78.8-km wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network supporting converged transport of 21.4-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero differential quadrature phase-shift keying, optical phase-modulated 5-GHz radio-over-fiber, fiber and air transmission of 3.125-Gb/s pulse ultrawideband, and 256-quadratic-amplitude modulation wireless interoperability for microwave access.
