This standardization activity aims at supporting the Ethernet PON at 10Gbps. The standard is expected to affect only the physical layer, as the MPCP and OAM operations in 10 Gig EPON are expected to email the same.
An overview of the standardization activities are available in IEEE 802.3 10 Gbps PHY for EPON Study Group. A nice representation articulating the need of 10 Gig EPON is available here. The website also contains presentations form different companies made during the study group meet held at Austin, TX last week.
The meeting voted to submit a Project Authorization Request (PAR) to the next IEEE Plenary in July 2006. We should be proud that our distinguished alumini, Dr. Glen Kramer, has played a major initiative in coordinating the study group towards this goal.
It is nice to visit some of these meetings if they are help locally (as in San Francisco). I attended a IEEE 802.3ah meeting in 2003, and it was definitely an excellent learning process.
