Passive Optical Networks (PON)

Passive Optical Networks (PON) are a type of telecommunications technology used to deliver high-speed internet, television, and phone services to homes and businesses. PON uses fiber optic cables to transmit data over long distances without requiring powered equipment along the way, hence "passive." A single fiber can connect multiple users, making it cost-effective and efficient. Data is split among users using passive splitters, allowing several connections from one main fiber. This technology supports faster internet speeds compared to traditional copper connections, providing a more reliable and higher-capacity network for modern communication needs.
