This book offers a comprehensive overview of optical access networks and advanced photonics technologies intended to meet growing bandwidth demands in broadband access. It covers architectures (like active optical access, passive WDM/ PON), deployment strategies, bandwidth allocation methods, dynamic bandwidth management, multicast routing, and techno-economic evaluations for WDM-PON deployment. It also discusses next-generation access networks including centralised carrier distribution and home-network integration — making it a useful reference for network engineers, planners and researchers working on fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), optical access, and photonics-based broadband deployments.
