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.

EXFO’s 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 today’s increasing field complexities and you are already equipped for tomorrow’s PON challenges.
