Performance Evaluation of XGS-PON Optical Network Termination for Enterprise Customer

Digital economy development requires enterprises to seek solutions to cater increasing demand for internet bandwidth. Enterprise customer require a reliable connection for delivering their business solution with the symmetric speed between upload and download, such as XGS-PON technology (10 Gigabit Capable Symmetric Passive Optical Network). However, standards and regulations for using XGS-PON ONT (Optical Network Terminal) equipment intended for enterprise customers do not exist. This research aims to determine the XGS-PON ONT capabilities for enterprise customers to ensure its service quality. XGS-PON ONT's performance evaluates optical interface capability parameters such as nominal line rate, operating wavelength, mean launch power, sensitivity, and overload. Also, data function capability parameters testing includes the VLAN ID, VLAN translate, and jumbo frame. Optical interface test results show that the XGS-PON ONT enterprise has an upstream nominal line rate capability of 9.81221 Gbps and supports an upstream operating wavelength of 1269,509 nm. The XGS-PON ONT results of mean launch power, sensitivity, and overload comply with the Optical Distribution Network (ODN) class requirements of N1 and N2. The test results of data function capability show that the XGS-PON ONT for enterprise customers can deliver 4000 Virtual Local Area Network Identifiers (VLAN IDs), supports the VLAN translate function jumbo frames from 2000 to 9000 bytes. The optical interface and data function capability of XGS-PON ONT shows the results following ITU-T G.9807, IEEE 802.1q, and Broadband Forum technical reports.
