What is EPON?

EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) is a telecommunications technology that delivers high-speed internet access and other services over a single optical fiber. It uses a point-to-multipoint architecture, where a single Optical Line Terminal (OLT) at the service provider's central office connects to multiple Optical Network Units (ONUs) or Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) at customer premises through a passive optical splitter. EPON is commonly used for Fiber to the Home (FTTH) deployments, providing broadband internet, VoIP, and IPTV services.
