An implementation of FTTH based home gateway supporting various services

HG (home gateway) is an interface device that connects an access network, WAN (wide area network), to a home network. FTTH (fiber to the home) based HG is an HG with FTTH network as an access network interface. In this paper, we propose an implementation of FTTH based HG, specially EPON (Ethernet passive optical network) based HG. With the FTTH access network interface, the proposed HG can provide service bandwidth of 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps to each subscriber. The amount is enough bandwidth to provide various home network services for each one. Our proposed HG has a novel architecture with various home network interfaces and can use efficiently the abundant bandwidth for the various services.
