Re: [8023-10GEPON] ONT Relative Functional Cost Information

Duane;
 
Thanks for the initiative, this is very useful info when we nail down the choice of components as in the power budget discussion.
 
One suggest: I think its better to seperate transciever which includes optics and some PMD chips. Btw- Does the optics in your list mean transceiver already. The silicon cost sound low, do you meam PMD chips, serdes/cdr and mac?

Given that we are beginning the serious work of making technology vs relative cost trade offs I offer the following information on the relative cost of functions within an ONT.  I would strongly encourage other PON Equipment vendors to contribute similar input and/or validate these figures.  Congratulation to JDSU on supplying information on optical components and I encourage other component vendors to contribute also.
Best Regards
Duane
