PON

A Passive Optical Network (PON) is a fiber-optic communication system that delivers internet, phone, and TV services to homes and businesses. It uses a single fiber optic cable from the service provider to a hub and then splits into multiple connections for different users without active electronic devices in the distribution points—hence "passive." This setup reduces costs and maintenance, providing high-speed data transmission efficiently. PONs are commonly used in modern broadband networks because they offer fast, reliable service with minimal infrastructure, making them an effective solution for large-scale residential and enterprise connectivity.
