A PON network consists of an OLT connected via a PON splitter to multiple ONTs (one for each subscriber, up to 64 subscribers). Sometimes, a second splitter can be connected in cascade to the first splitter to dispatch services to buildings or residential areas, which has been introduced more clearly in the previous post “Understanding […]

Splice or Connector: Which to Choose for FTTH Drop Cable Installation?
When deploying a FTTH network, subscribers must choose the right drop cable interconnect solution. So they need to decide whether to use splices (permanent joint) or connectors (easily mated and unmated by hand) for the best solution. This is for both ends of the drop cable—the distribution point and at the home’s optical network terminal […]
FTTH Access Network Based on GPON
Growing demand for high speed internet drives the new access technologies which enable experiencing true broadband. This leads telecommunication operators to seriously consider the high volume roll-out of optical fiber based access networks. In order to allow faster connections, the optical fiber gets closer and closer to the subscriber. Then FTTH (Fiber To The Home) […]
Introduction to PON Technologies
Passive optical network (PON) is a very significant class of fiber access system in the world and it enjoys a dominant position in the access market. GPON and EPON are the two classifications of PON. The primary differences between the GPON and EPON lie in the protocols used for upstream and downstream communications. This article […]
FTTH Access Network Based on GPON
The increasing demands for new data transmission services and various bandwidth-related applications have led telecommunication operators to seriously consider optical fiber based networks. Enabling faster computer connectivity, fiber to the home (FTTH) seems to be an ideal choice to meet those demands in the long run. FTTH, a form of fiber-optic communication delivery, refers to […]
FTTH Access Networks – AON vs. PON
The deployment of FTTH (Fiber To The Home) access networks has come a long way before subscribers use optical fibers instead of copper lines to achieve broadband Internet access. FTTH is a form of fiber-optic communication delivery that reaches one living or working space. The fiber extends from the central office to the subscriber’s living […]
