How does GPON work?
Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON) are the backbone of modern high-speed internet. But are they right for you?In this comprehensive survey of GPON technology, we explain how GPON works, as well as discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these optical networks.About GPON Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON) is a communications technology that harnesses the power of optical fiber to deliver high-speed internet, television and other services to homes and businesses. The term "passive" highlights its unique characteristics: it uses passive components such as optical splitters to deliver data signals without the need for active electronic devices on-site. How does GPON work? GPON is essentially based on a combination of optical fibers, optical splitters, and dedicated equipment to transmit data between the central office and the end user premises. Let's take a closer look at the key components and processes that make up GPON technology: Optical Line T...
