Abstract

This draft European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) defines the optical distribution Network (ODN) which is that part of the Optical Access Network (OAN) between the Optical Network Unit (ONU ) and the Optical Line Terminal (OLT). This ETS primarily addresses the optical aspects related to the transmission of the interactive services in an OAN according to the functional requirements specified in ETS 300 463. Optical aspects related to the transmission of signals corresponding to distributive services, which may have impact on the definition of this type of ODN (e.g the use of Optical Amplification) are also taken into account, even if further studies are required in some cases.
