| description | The purpose of this study is to increase the number of access users without having to install a new optical cable. With the proposed solution, the cost of installation work can be reduced and the number of users can be increased. Several parameters were observed to ensure that the modified network not only improved the scalability but also met the standard parameters. Among the parameters observed are the Q factor, bit error rate (BER), eye diagram and number of users. The study was continued using the spectrum conversion, slicing and duplication technique, where the signals would be duplicated in arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) and sliced using a demultiplexer WDM (WDM Demux). Simulations were performed using the latest-version Optisystem 18.0 software by setting the transmitter frequency value of 1491 nm, transmitter power of 0 dBm and loss of 0 dB. The result shows the total user access achieved is 196,608 users. Meanwhile, the common FTTH network is allowed 256 users only. The criterion is set based on the calculation of the Q factor, which is greater than 6, while the BER is less than 1 × 10<sup>−9</sup>. The Q factor for 196,608 users is 6.43617 and the BER is 4.52 × 10<sup>−11</sup>. The number of users is increased without compromising the quality of data offered to the customer. Our solution is the first reported to date. |
