Effective, Practical PON Monitoring Beyond the Splitter
Neil Parkin, Sophie Minoughan, Md Asif Iqbal

TL;DR
This paper presents a cost-effective method for monitoring Passive Optical Networks beyond the splitter using a non-standard wavelength, achieving high customer visibility with minimal additional hardware.
Contribution
It introduces a novel wavelength-based monitoring approach that reduces costs and enhances visibility in PONs beyond traditional splitter monitoring methods.
Findings
Customer visibility increased to 97%
Monitoring costs are reduced by using a non-standard wavelength
Method is practical for real-world deployment
Abstract
Monitoring beyond the splitter in a PON is costly due to the need for additional hardware. A non-standard monitoring wavelength can reduce cost and increase the visibility of customers to 97% on a C+ GPON
