Next-generation passive optical networks (PONs) will, in most cases, leverage the existing outdoor plant infrastructure already in use for current PON customers. This adds a level of complexity to PON testing since multiple wavelengths will reach the end user at the service activation location. Having the right instrument is vital to avoid meaningless test results or false positives.
EXFOs PPM-350D can be used in legacy and next-generation PON scenarios. It is compatible with single-layer PON and RF overlays as well as mixing a next-generation layer on top of it. The PPM-350D affords the unique ability to test several next generation PON technologies (XGS-PON, NG-PON2) with a single unit. With the same PPM-350D test unit you can tackle todays increasing field complexities and you are already equipped for tomorrows PON challenges.
