GPON optical transmission equipment

GPON is an alternative to Ethernet switching in campus networking. Modern OLTs offer communication service providers (CSP) the ability to launch multigigabit services to tens of thousands of subscribers from a single location or just ten. It is commonly used to implement the link to the customer (the last kilometre, or last mile) of fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) services, using a. In today's rapidly evolving optical networking landscape, GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) technology stands as the mainstream solution for delivering fast, stable, and high-capacity data access. GPON replaces the traditional three-tier Ethernet design with a two-tier optic network which eliminates access and distribution Ethernet switches with passive optical devices. Cisco introduces GPON with the Catalyst GPON platform. [pdf]
