TWDM PON Is on the Horizon Facilitating fast FTTx network monetization Summary Catalyst With the completion of lab trials this year, commercial trials expected in 2015, and initial deployments forecast for 2016, TWDM PON (time wavelength division multiplexing passive optical networking) is on the horizon. While today’s PON meets the requirements of residential subscribers, small-to- medium-sized businesses (SMBs), and some MBH (mobile backhaul) applications, CSPs (communications service providers) want an access solution with higher bandwidth and enough flexibility to also support large enterprises and fronthaul. TWDM PON fulfills this role and provides pay-as-you-grow options, allowing realistic adoption of FMC (fixed–mobile convergence) throughout the access network. In addition TWDM PON enables efficient sharing of the FTTx network, whether mandated by regulatory authorities or chosen by CSPs through co-investment partnerships. The TWDM PON architecture facilitates FTTx network monetization with its support of high-revenue services over the same ODN (optical distribution network) as residential subscribers . Ovum view  TWDM PON supports fast FTTx network monetization. Today’s PON supports residential and non-residential customers and applications including FTTH, SMBs, and MBH. TWDM PON allows support for higher-ARPU subscribers such as enterprises, leading to faster ROI (return on investment) while enabling pay-as-you- grow network deployment options.  TWDM PON will surpass XG-PON1 as the next-gen GPON architecture of choice. The bandwidth upgrade enabled by XG-PON1 compared to GPON is not sufficiently attractive to many CSPs. CSPs are seeking significantly more downstream/upstream bandwidth to enable the support of high-ARPU business services.  TWDM PON will be adopted both by CSPs new to FTTx a
