Finisar new transceiver concept
Broadway has developed a pluggable transceiver that incorporates an EPON ONU in an SFP and enables switches, routers and other customer premises equipment (CPE) to connect directly to PON networks.
This "System on a Transceiver" approach offers particular advantages in the case of PON networks that are deployed for broadband services to multi-dwelling units, businesses and for wireless backhaul. Broadway has also developed a "Smart SFP" with built-in remote management functionality designed to enable telecom carriers to monitor and diagnose the fiber links connecting customer sites, and reduce operating costs in the process.
