Abstract

This paper presented a simple monitoring, protection switching, and fast restoration approach for fiber to the home passive optical network (FTTH-PON) using Access Control System (ACS). ACS is developed for centralized monitoring and failure detection from central office (CO) in downstream direction (from CO towards customer sides). The proposed system architecture incorporating low cost and enable the network service providers and field engineers to remotely control the testing module from anywhere in the world and automatically identify any fiber fault and address the failure location in the fiber field. Another unique function of ACS is to provide the activation for optical switching in a restoration scheme which implemented at the drop region of FTTH-PON. A protection device named Customer Protection Device that comprises of programmable optical switches will be employed at the customer sides, just before the optical network unit, for rerouting the disrupted signals to the protection line when failure occurs in the working line to ensure continuous service delivery to customers.
