Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON)

A Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) is a high-speed internet technology that uses fiber optic cables to deliver data directly to homes and businesses. It relies on a split architecture, allowing one fiber line to serve multiple users through passive optical splitters. This means faster internet speeds—up to 1 gigabit per second—across greater distances without requiring active equipment in between. GPON is efficient, supports multiple services like internet, television, and phone, and is becoming a popular choice for modern telecommunications due to its reliability and high capacity.
