Figure 1. illustrates generic design of P2P Ethernet network. The access network is a melting pot of different technologies, so there is no single or correct way of calling different parts of the netw

The main feature of PON is being passive type of network. Splitter is the main part of PON being passive. Main cost advantage of splitter is reduced cost due usage of only one fiber coming from Centra

The PON network is having different distances between OLT and ONTs due its physical location. This results into different times required for signal to reach its destination. For successful time delay

The PON network is sharing bandwidth between multiple users and it require each client to allocate time slot on the network. Due one transmitter it is relatively easy to allocate time for downstream s

Despite that PON stands for Passive Optical Network, the ONT/ONU that is allocated on customer premises requires power to work. Many powering schemes have been deployed, tested and installed during pa
