The GPON fiber network is becoming more and more popular in Poland because it guarantees a fast and secure connection to the Internet.What's more, its assembly and implementation are very cost-effective and simple.This technology has great potential, so it's important to be aware of what exactly it is.We explain what GPON technology is!For starters, it's best to explain what GPON technology is.The extension of this abbreviation is Gigabit-Capable Passive Optical Networks.It is the latest variant of the passive PON optical network, described by the ITU-T G.984.x standard.Responsible for its creation is the FSAN (Full Service Access Network) group, which created it as the successor to the APON / BPON standard.GPON is a much more efficient technology as it achieves data transmission speeds of 2488 Mb / s from OLT to ONT and 1244 Mb / s from ONT to OLT.It is based on the P2MP (point to multipoint, point-to-multipoint) architecture.Its optical parameters are defined in the G.984.2 standard.GPON networks are delivered in different ways, using different varieties of FTTx optical infrastructure - Fiber to the X. There are many variants, but there are four basic, most common ones:GPON is considered a passive technology because its operation does not require any additional devices to connect the operator and the recipient.Only OLT (Optical Line Termination) by the operator and ONT / ONU (Optical Network Termination / Optical Network Unit) by the user are active.The GPON network allows you to deliver multiple connections over a single fiber optic cable.The operator only needs to put the splitter in the right place and the signal can be split up to 128 recipients.It works in a similar way to a cable TV installed in a block of flats.GPON transmits not only high-speed Internet, but also telephony and television.Thanks to FTTH, you can introduce the most modern services to your home, includingnext gen TV, cloud services or even a Smart Home system.The GPON network allows for quick reception and transmission of huge data resources without any technological limitations.Applying this technology opens up many different possibilities.In Poland, this solution is being introduced gradually, but thanks to actions such as the Digital Poland Operational Program, more and more Poles can use optical fibers.GPON supports the operators' business because it is an extremely profitable solution.The use of this technology allows you to significantly reduce capital expenditure at all stages of implementation - from construction to final implementation.In addition, the maintenance of the fiber-optic network is also significantly cheaper.An additional benefit for suppliers is also the fact that, thanks to the appropriate end devices, the use of optical fiber allows the introduction of a modern model of differentiated services.Such an offer stands out on the market and attracts many interested customers.Of course, this standard has its strengths, but also some weaknesses.It's good to know the pros and cons of a GPON connection.The advantages are certainly:The disadvantages, in turn, include:Still, optical fibers are gradually replacing traditional copper cables.GPON is a step towards the future that exceeds further technological limitations.There is no doubt that the development of this solution should be supported.The article in cooperation with the Technology-internetowa.pl portalWe are the largest reseller of Office 365 and Azure for small and medium-sized enterprises in Poland and a leader on the market of e-learning training in Microsoft software.We also run the most popular website on Microsoft technology in Poland - CentrumXP.Onex Group Al.Niepodległości 18 02-653 Warsaw NIP: 5751726496 REGON: 240028596 www.OnexGroup.pl
