A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications network that uses only unpowered devices to carry signals, as opposed to electronic equipment. In practice, PONs are typically used for the last mile between Internet service providers (ISP) and their customers. In this use, a PON has a point-to-multipoint topology in which an ISP uses a single device to serve many end-user sites using a system suc

What Are Passive Optical Networks (PON) and How Do They Work

In the world of high-speed internet, Fiber Optics reigns supreme. But while we enjoy gigabit speeds for streaming, gaming, and working from home, few of us consider the ingenious
