Latest telecommunication horizons

GPON technology is currently the most modern, most efficient and promising in a relatively large family of passive optical networks. Based on European standards in recent years, it has provided cable TV operators and Internet service providers with efficient solutions in terms of high-speed access to the World Wide Web, stable signal and exceptional tele-picture quality. GPON technology also provides very significant savings in fiber optic thanks to the tree topology of network architecture and the highest reliability achieved by passive branching elements. But perhaps the main advantage of this telecommunications innovation is the high-speed "last mile".

GPON technology supports modern wave multiplexing technology, which allows to significantly increase network bandwidth without upgrading their cable infrastructure. And tree-topology opens up wide scope for flexible management of client service bandwidth. At the same time, GPON technology has a relatively high data rate, which ensures transparency of transport for various services: SDH, Ethernet, ATM, etc.

Therefore, the numerous advantages of passive optical networks and the abundance of their unique capabilities determine the advantages of this technology over other telecommunications architectures, especially in terms of high-speed "last mile". This is due to the rapid spread of this innovation in building high-speed fiber networks for urban services. What is GPON and what is it?

It is as simple as brilliant in itself. The provider's central node, providing a high-speed backbone connection, connects to the subscriber points of the passive tree architecture optical network. In this case, special intermediate nodes are formed on which compact passive optical splitters (splitters) are placed. Their passivity means they absolutely do not need food or service.

GPON devices, in addition to splitters, include a multi-service hardware software platform and subscriber terminals. In addition, one platform can transmit information to as many subscriber devices that allow you to add performance budget and transceiver hardware speed to it. The combination of such modern equipment enables the introduction of passive optical networks and modernization of cable architectures in the shortest possible time and at no extra cost.
