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 •...
