Today’s News: Breakthrough Tech for Wireline

• The Problem: In current fiber-to-the-home architectures, all data is processed but 99% is unused

• With FTTH expected to nearly double over the next five years—to 142 million subscribers worldwide—energy consumption is a major concern

• GreenTouch Solution: New bit-interleaving passive optical network (Bi-PON) technology, which can reduce carbon footprint equal to taking half a million cars off the road

• Bell Labs, IMEC, INRIA and Orange collaborated in GreenTouch Wireline Working Group to demonstrate how Bi-PON can improve energy efficiency by more than an order of magnitude over current technology.
