Precision OT’s PON Extender for XGS-PON is an optical module allowing truly passive and low-noise extended PON links for distances up to 80km. Using a patent-pending, low-noise WDM amplification solution (applies to upstream and downstream wavelengths), the PON Extender enables network operators to simplify and extend their PON footprint by eliminating the need to deploy remote OLTs in the field. This directly mitigates the costs and risks associated with remote OLT deployment, thus considerably enhancing PON networks' economics and passive nature. For operators already using PON architecture and reliant on remote OLTs, the PON Extender can expand their existing footprint exceptionally quickly, allowing operators to access new revenue sources without needing additional remote OLTs.
JUDGE'S COMMENT: "A differentiated solution that provides infrastructure relief in the edge/ access network."
