Active Ethernet refers to a type of Ethernet-based access network technology used in the 'first mile' (the connection between the service provider and the end-user). Unlike Passive Optical Network (PON) technologies, Active Ethernet utilizes active network elements such as Ethernet switches or routers located closer to the customer premises. This allows for dedicated bandwidth and potentially higher speeds for each user. It's commonly used to deliver broadband services like internet access, VoIP, and IPTV to homes and businesses.
