Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON)

Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is a technology that combines traditional Ethernet networking with fiber optic communication. It allows multiple users to share a single optical fiber, providing high-speed internet access over long distances. EPON uses a passive splitter, which means it requires no active electronics between the service provider and the end user, making it cost-effective and reliable. Data is transmitted in packets, similar to how information travels over the internet, enabling efficient and fast communication for various applications, such as internet, TV, and voice services.
