Abstract
NG-PON systems present optical access infrastructures to support various applications of the many service providers. In the near future, we can expect NG-PON technologies with different motivations for developing of HPON networks. The HPON is a hybrid passive optical network in a way that utilizes on a physical layer both TDM and WDM multiplexing principles together. The HPON network utilizes similar or soft revised topologies as TDM-PON architectures. In this second paper, requirements for the SARDANA HPON networks are introduced. A main part of the paper is dedicated to presentation of the HPON network configurator that allows configurating and analyzing the SARDANA HPON characteristics from a viewpoint of various specific network parameters. Finally, a short introduction to the comparison of the SARDANA and SUCCESS HPON networks based on simulation results is presented.
