GPON is a prominent Passive Optical Network (PON) standard, which is a type of point-to-multipoint network technology that provides broadband access to end-users via fiber optic cable. GPON stands for Gigabit Passive Optical Network. The term Gigabit in GPON refers to the maximum speed that it offers, which is typically 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream. The term passive refers to an optical fiber network that does not rely on any electrically powered equipment along its path. GPON technology has proven to be the most widely adopted type of optical fiber connection, using over 95% less energy than a traditional copper cable network. Furthermore, GPON has a 1:64 ratio on a single fiber. This means that a GPON can serve video, data, and voice to up to 64 end-users over a single fiber line. As in GPON, a number of fibers run in a fiber optic network, it is the optical network standard of choice for establishing last-mile connectivity in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
