How does GPON work?
As we have seen Gigabyte PON works mainly through optical fiber communication. But that is not all. Gigabyte PON works like this: 1. Each Gigabyte PON network starts with a service node, which is a data center that is part of the provider's network delivery infrastructure. 2. These service nodes are connected to the larger network through a service node interface (SNI), which is a connector that enables the connection. 3. The connection runs from the service node through the SNI to the optical line terminal (OLT). Because the range of a gigabyte PON network is limited to about 12 miles, service providers typically install multiple OLTs at key locations where they provide network access. The OLT acts as a central hub for the network, allowing it to provide network access to multiple users simultaneously. 4. To allow the network to be deployed to multiple users, the OLT must pass the signal through a passive GPON optical splitter. This splitter literally split...
