The PAS7401 is PMC-Sierra's second generation GPON ONT System-on-
Chip (SOC), dedicated for use in a GPON (ITU-T G.984) network. The
PAS7401 is an optimized device for building a high-performance,
extremely low-power and low-cost GPON ONT in Single Family Unit
(SFU), Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU), or similar configurations. The
PAS7401 integrates the GPON SERDES, MAC and packet-processing
functions, together with an integrated ARM9 controller, a dual
Gigabit Ethernet user interface, a TDM interface, and a dedicated
DSP for VoIP processing.
The PAS7401 is based on PMC-Sierra's field-proven GigaPASS
networking architecture, which provides market-leading throughput
and quality of service (QoS). The PAS7401 provides simultaneous and
sustained 2 Gbit/s downstream and 1.244 Gbit/s upstream throughput
at all packet sizes. The GigaPASS networking engine provides TR-101
based networking features, compliant with FSAN CTS specifications,
including 802.1p/q bridging, packet classification, filtering and
queuing, traffic shaping and policing.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Full ITU-T G.984 GPON ONT functionality with integrated CPU and a
comprehensive software package
GigaPASS Wire-speed performance - Simultaneous 2 Gbit/s downstream
and 1.244 Gbit/s upstream sustained throughput at any packet size.
Advanced classification engine - supports classification, mapping
and filtering according to L2/L3/L4 fields, double-tagged VLANs,
MLD and IGMP multicast.
Advanced QoS features - flexible queuing features enable queuing
per user/service with WFQ/SP scheduling, shaping, and policing per
queue
Power down modes - supports SuperSave power down mode, which
enables up to 95% ONT power reduction during power outages and
standby periods
High Integration and RBOM optimization
Interoperability - PAS7401 uses PMC field-proven GPON protocol
stack and is guaranteed to provide the highest level of
interoperability
