GPON products were shipped worldwide
Factors such as the rise in bandwidth-intensive applications, smart cities, the proliferation of IoT, the widespread adoption of 5G, and GPON for mobile backhaul have made GPON and upcoming upgrades such as NG-PON2 the optical network of choice. Gigabit passive optical networks are becoming more popular due to their many advantages, including: • Energy efficient: As a passive system, GPON consumes very little power to operate. It is also 95% more energy efficient than copper networks. • Cost-effective: As a direct result of the previous point, GPON requires very little energy to function, which reduces operational costs. It also does not require much IT support. This is another area where costs can be significantly reduced. Because GPON is a fiber optic system that can connect directly to multiple customers using splitter technology, it requires less equipment, making it a very efficient and cost-effective solution. • High speed: Since speed is a key requirement for ...
