EPON and GPON are two types of passive optical networks (PONs) used to provide fiber-optic access to homes and businesses. EPON stands for Ethernet Passive Optical Network and GPON stands for Gigabit Passive Optical Network. Both technologies use a single fiber to provide high-speed internet access to multiple users.
EPON is a point-to-multipoint access network that uses Ethernet frames to transmit data. It supports data rates up to 1 Gbps and can provide up to 20 km of coverage. GPON is a point-to-multipoint access network that uses ATM cells to transmit data. It supports data rates up to 2.5 Gbps and can provide up to 60 km of coverage.
Both EPON and GPON are cost-effective solutions for providing high-speed internet access to large numbers of users. They are also more reliable than traditional copper-based networks and can be easily upgraded to support higher data rates.
