Optical Network Interface (ONI)

An Optical Network Interface (ONI) is a device that connects a local network, such as a business or data center, to an optical fiber communication system. It acts as a translator and connector, converting electrical signals into light signals for high-speed data transfer over fiber optics, and vice versa. The ONI ensures the seamless and efficient flow of large amounts of data between local equipment and the broader optical network, enabling fast, reliable internet and communication services with minimal latency.
