2. Objectives
Support subscriber access networks using point to multipoint topologies on optical fiber
Provide specifications for physical layers operating over a single SMF strand and supporting the MAC data rate of:
At least 25 Gb/s in downstream and at least 25 Gb/s in upstream
At least 25 Gb/s in downstream and at least 10 Gb/s in upstream
At least 40 Gb/s in downstream and at least 40 Gb/s in upstream
Define an extensible architecture that will support future MAC data rates of at least 100 Gb/s

3. Objectives
PHY(s) to have a BER better than or equal to at the MAC/PLS service interface (or the frame loss ratio equivalent)
Support coexistence with 10G-EPON
Power budgets equivalent to 10G-EPON power budgets defined in IEEE Std
Wavelength allocation allowing concurrent operation with 10G-EPON PHYs
