TeliSwitch Unveils PON-AODF

KFAR-SABA, Israel -- TeliSwitch Solutions (www.teliswitch.com) today announced the release of its patented PON-AODF™ that enables dynamic changing of the splitting ratio in Passive Optical Networks (PON) to be adaptable to service penetration and meeting bandwidth service demand requirements.

Currently PON operators compromise between initial vs. anticipated service penetration rates and meeting future demands for higher bandwidth, typically using splitters with 32 or 64 split ratios. At low penetration rates, this wastes OLT ports, as one port must be allocated to each splitter even if it serves only a single customer. In addition, the high split ratio causes a shortage in bandwidth when the demand for higher bandwidth increases.

Implementing PON-AODF saves operators up to 50% on OLT ports as they are able to remotely adapt PON splitting ratios to growth, enabling the connection of more homes without compromising on future bandwidth demand. By installing PON-AODF with the OLT, the passive optical network is upgraded with adaptive splitting ratio capabilities while preserving the passive nature of the PON Optical Distribution Network (ODN).

“TeliSwitch PON-AODF deployment gives service providers the flexibility to install only as many OLT ports as needed to serve connected homes, saving up to 50% on PON ports, thus reducing total equipment costs,” said Rafi Ben-Atar, co-founder and CEO at TeliSwitch Solutions. “In addition, our PON-AODF reduces overall OPEX by making optical infrastructure remotely manageable, thereby minimizing human interventions and errors.”
