π‘ GPON Technology Snapshot: One OLT, One Fiber Network, Many Users
How can one fiber serve dozens of subscribers while keeping deployment efficient and cost-effective? The answer is GPON β Gigabit Passive Optical Network.
GPON uses a point-to-multipoint architecture, allowing an OLT at the central office to distribute broadband services to multiple ONTs through passive optical splitters.
How GPON Works
πΉ OLT manages network traffic, bandwidth allocation, timing, and upstream/downstream transmission.
πΉ Feeder Fiber carries signals from the central office to the distribution network.
πΉ Passive Splitter divides one optical signal into multiple branches without external power.
πΉ ONT converts optical signals into internet, voice, Wi-Fi, and IPTV services for end users.
