With early PON designs, upstream bandwidth was horrible. Not particularly useful if you're doing things like remote backup, or video chatting, or running a server (business grade service). GPON does better on upstream bandwidth, but it's still asymmetric.So let me ask this: Are there any functional reasons to favor AE over PON /within/ the lifecycle of a deployment? Does one methodology offer any significant advantages or disadvantages over the other? If so, is (are) the pro(s) / con(s) applicable to specific use case(s)?
If you're marketing to business customers, or home office professionals, of families with multiple users that consume upstream bandwidth, AE gives you a lot of room for upside growth (assuming you provision the right kinds of fiber).
