What is GPON (GPON Network)?
Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) is an important generation of fiber optic communications that enables high-speed, cost-effective data transmission to homes and businesses. With its point-to-multipoint structure, GPON supports services such as Internet, video, and voice, and forms the backbone of existing broadband networks. Part 1: What is GPON GPON stands for Gigabit Passive Optical Network. It is a type of Passive Optical Network (PON), a device that uses fiber optic cables to deliver high-speed data to homes and businesses in Fiber to the X (FTTx) deployments. GPON uses a point-to-multipoint architecture where a single fiber serves multiple endpoints using passive splitters. GPON was first proposed by the General Provider Access Network (FSAN) group and standardized by the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Committee (ITU-T) in 2004. Key features of GPON: • High speed: It provides upstream speeds of up t...
