GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) is the leading fiber access technology for delivering gigabit internet services to residential and business subscribers. GPON is used to build Fiber to the Home (FTTH) also known as Fiber to the Premise (FTTP) network that connect our clients to us.
GPON is a point to multi-point technology that connects an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) to many Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) or Optical Network Units (ONUs). A GPON network utilizes passive splitters between ONT and ONT to split the wavelength so all ONTs on the fiber can see it.
GPON provides a downstream speed of 2.4Gbps with a wavelength of 1490nm and upstream speed of 1.2Gbps with a wavelength of 1310nm, suspporting a longer distance as high as 40 km and provide more bandwidth per subscriber.
