What is GPON?

GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) is a point-to-multipoint access network. It uses optical fiber to deliver high-speed internet, voice, and video services to homes and businesses. A single optical fiber from the provider's central office is split using passive optical splitters to serve multiple end-users, typically up to 128.
