Passive Optical Network (PON)

A Passive Optical Network (PON) is a fiber optic communication technology that delivers internet and other services directly to homes and businesses. It uses a single optical fiber that branches out to multiple users through passive splitters—devices that divide the light signal without needing power. This setup reduces infrastructure costs and maintenance. PON provides high-speed, reliable data transmission by utilizing light signals over fiber optics, making it an efficient way to connect many users with fast internet, voice, and TV services over a shared network without active electronics at each connection point.
