Another advantage is meeting the high bandwidth demand for services such as HDTV, M2M, and the Internet of Everything. Although it has begun to be widely implemented, the regulation of telecommunications equipment standards in Indonesia for Passive Optical Networks (PON) is currently limited to G-PON and E-PON technology. This study aims to provide a reference to the technical specifications of the OLT XGS-PON for improving existing PON regulations. This study's technical requirements are the capability of nominal rate, wavelength range, and IGMP multicast group from the OLT XGS-PON device. The research obtained a reference to the nominal rate of XGS-PON with FEC at 8.5 Gbps for bidirectional service, the upstream wavelength range at 1260- 1280 nm, the downstream wavelength range at 1575-1580 nm, and IGMP multicast group capability was 4096 groups in IPv4 network.

It is challenging for telecommunications network operators to meet the high demand for data traffic on fixed networks and mobile networks [1]. The global internet traffic business is projected to overgrow from 3.4 billion to 4.8 billion users, which is dominated by 82 percent of video communication traffic, as shown in Figure 1 below. Fig. 1. Internet Trends and Growth in the World [2] The ever-increasing rate of IP traffic growth requires increased transmission capacity and routing systems and architecture to effectively reduce capacity requirements. It can be done both on the backbone network and access network through a combination of optical fiber, cable, and wireless technology [3]. Fiber-optic communication technology is one of the broadband technologies that have advantages in speed and the ability to send huge capacities over long distances. Optical fiber is the underlying infrastructure needed by today's internet networks. Optical fiber is an ideal technology for building national and global telecommunications networks [1]. Network operators prefer technology that offers a balance between the short-term investment needed to improve technology and long-term thinking for their survival in the market. Thus backward compatibility with existing technology and lower cost of upgrading is the main foundation evaluated by the industry before launching new products by assimilating new technologies [4]. Operators of telecommunications network rollers can make optical technology the best choice for implementation. The optical technology that is developing in the world is the Passive Optical Network (PON). PON technology is considered a promising technology to realize the mobile front haul's cost efficiency for small cell C-RAN because it allows the sharing of optical fiber and transmission equipment [5]. The PON technology used in residential customers is G-PON, while business and cellular customers use XGS-PON. G-PON will remain the dominant technology because the price is lower, and the speed is sufficient. Along with mobile development, business traffic will be higher than housing, especially if the cellular industry moves towards the Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN), which has strict latency and synchronization requirements in line with bandwidth capacity requirements [6]. The XGS-PON was chosen for business and cellular services because PON technology uses single-core optics for its connections. It will be very useful compared to point ethernet or metro ethernet solutions, where each connection requires two optical cores [7]. XGS-PON is also an alternative solution supporting the implementation of 5G and service functions on mobile backhaul and fronthaul for business and cellular customers, where traffic has strict latency and synchronization bandwidth capacity requirements. XGS-PON has a solution that supports meeting these requirements with the Dynamic Bandwidth Assurance (DBA) mechanism. During the technology transition, XGS-PON fulfills the main requirements of NG-PON1 to work alongside the G-PON system that has been implemented and utilizes the Optical Distribution Network (ODN), which spends 70% of the total 2020 12th International Conference on Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ICITEE), Yogyakarta, Indonesia 978-1-7281-1097-4/20/$31.00 ©2020 IEEE 5
