ITU-T Recommendation G.983 is a family of recommendations that defines
broadband
In telecommunications, broadband is wide bandwidth data transmission which transports multiple signals at a wide range of frequencies and Internet traffic types, that enables messages to be sent simultaneously, used in fast internet connections. ...
passive optical network
A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications technology for delivering broadband network access to end-customers. Its architecture implements a point-to-multipoint topology in which a single optical fiber serves multiple e ...

Telecommunication is the transmission of information by various types of technologies over wire, radio, optical, or other electromagnetic systems. It has its origin in the desire of humans for communication over a distance greater than that fe ...
Access networks. It originally comprised ten recommendations, G.983.1 through G.983.10, but recommendations .6–.10 were withdrawn when their content was incorporated into G.983.2.
The current view is that the BPON standards are mature, and no further work will be done on them after the 2007 round. The

OMCI definition has been revised to stand alone, rather than citing G.983.2.
Although G.983 is directed at BPON, the GPON recommendations draw heavily on it, especially

Current recommendations
The current recommendations are:
G.983.1 Broadband optical access systems based on passive optical networks (PON), 2005, with amendment 1 and erratum 1. Includes the definition of the
churning cipher.
G.983.2 ONT management and control interface specification for B-PON, 2005, with amendments 1 and 2, erratum 1 and an implementer's guide.
G.983.3 A broadband optical access system with increased service capability by wavelength allocation, 2001, with amendments 1 and 2.
G.983.4 A broadband optical access system with increased service capability using dynamic bandwidth assignment, 2001, with amendment 1 and corrigendum 1.
G.983.5 A broadband optical access system with enhanced survivability, 2002.
