PON standards is GPON
Fiber optic networks operate according to various standards for Passive Optical Networks (PON). PON is a network system designed specifically for fiber optic technology to provide broadband network access to homes and businesses. One of the many PON standards is GPON. GPON stands for Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (PON). GPON uses Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) for voice, Ethernet for data, and a proprietary encapsulation for voice. This means that fixed-size cells are used instead of variable-size data packets. It offers faster Gbit/s in downstream and upstream bandwidth than EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network). GPON system consists of an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) that connects multiple Optical Network Terminals (ONT/ONU) over a Passive Optical Distribution Network (ODN). GPON supports: • Triple-play services (VoIP, data, IPTV) and offers competitive all-service solutions. • Higher data rates and bandwidth • Longer distances •...
