Centralized Monitoring for Huge FTTH Network using Code Grating

Abstract

Abstract The Covid-19 has impacted the demand in broadband communication specifically in Fiber to the Home (FTTH). The increase in the demand caused the increase in the number of users in Triple play service during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period. Consequently, the high volume of user has slowed down the internet speed and connectivity. In addition, there is no effective monitoring system to monitor the network health from user end. This study was conducted to design a PON Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network which can serve thousands of users by increasing the capacity of the network and at the same time the network operator will be able to monitor any faulty branch(s) at the user end. By upgrading the new component in PON FTTH such as SOA, AWG and Demultiplexer, the network is able to support up to 30 000 users and also able to monitor fault user branches in FTTH network by using code FBG.
