Passive optical networks (PON) technology was available in the middle of 90s. Since then, it has constantly been evolving and various standards have been established and matured.
Gigabit passive optical network, or GPON, is the next evolution in structured cabling technology. GPON use a fiber-optic broadband connection to create a point-to-multipoint network, granting individual users’ all-fiber access to any Ethernet end-point.Gigabit PON (GPON) brings great improvement in data transmission distance and bandwidth. Let’s take a look at all its
BENEFITS OF GPON
- Greater range: GPON systems, can transmit data over 10 to 20 kilometers. On the other hand, conventional copper is typically limited to a range of 100 meters. This makes it possible for the GPON broadband technology to deliver high speed in spite of the distance from the service provider.
- Faster speeds: The Fiber optic network provides high-performance bandwidth of 5 gigabits per second (Gbps) downstream and 25 Gbps up to the hub. Such speeds are inconceivable for copper wires, especially over a great distance.
- Space-saving benefits: GPON fiber is a fraction of the size of traditional copper cables, meaning less space is required to run the cabling through your building.
- Environmentally friendly: As a more efficient and powerful fiber to home network technology, it requires considerably fewer active components to remain up and running, and it doesn’t have strict operating temperature requirements. This means it uses less electricity and air conditioning at the backend and hence save on energy.
- Security: The level of security that GPON broadband technology offers is a great attraction. Because GPON uses fiber, it creates a closed circuit meaning it cannot be hijacked or tapped. Not only that but it is encrypted to keep the user data secure.
- Sophisticated Technology: Some of the features of GPON are more advanced than other technologies, such as the ability to employ burst-mode (high-speed) transmission with statistical usage capabilities, allowing dynamic control and sharing of bandwidth, using committed and excess information rate parameters. This means that providers are able to offer users a minimum guaranteed bandwidth at peak times and superior service during less busy times.
- STABILITY: Optical fiber is unaffected by electromagnetic compatibility and radio frequency interference, which can disrupt traditional Ethernet networks, particularly at high speeds.
- FUTURE PROOF: GPON speed is future proof to 1.6 Tb/s per fiber.
