According to the ‘TELECOMPAPER’, OTE is participating in two research projects, PANDA and WiSE-PON, which are focused on technologies and architectures of next-generation access networks.
Both projects are funded by the Greek General Secretariat of Research and Technology (GSRT). PANDA (Asymmetric Passive Optical Network for xDSL and FTTH Access) aims at studying the development of PON access technologies to offer 10 Gbps access speeds to Optical Network Units (ONU) as close to the end-user as possible. The end-user will connect to the ONUs with the existing copper lines over VDSL2 technology achieving connection speeds of at least 100Mbps.
The project WiSEPON (Converging FTTx and Broadband Heterogenous Wireless Services over Next-Generation Radio-over-Fiber Passive Optical Networks) deals with Radio over Fiber technologies and aims at providing high-speed wireless access services over fiber backhaul connections.
