60 km, 256-split Optically-amplified PON Repeatered Transmission using 1.24 Gbit/s Upstream and 2.5 Gbit/s Downstream PON system

We successfully demonstrate a 60 km optically-amplified PON repeatered transmission experiment using commercial 1.24 Gbit/s upstream and 2.5 Gbit/s downstream PON systems with an optical-amplifier-based PON repeater, a burst-mode upstream pre-amplifier, and a combination of 4x and 64x splitters.
