GPON is based on point-to-multipoint architecture

 


 


 It is a type of high-speed network standard for Internet access, mainly used for broadband services over optical fiber. Here are the details of GPON and its main features:

Network Structure: GPON is based on point-to-multipoint architecture, which means that a single fiber optic cable can serve multiple locations using passive optical splitters. This is in contrast to the point-to-point model, where each location requires its own fiber optic cable.

OLT and ONT/ONU: OLT (Optical Line Terminal): This is a device located at the service provider's headquarters. It transmits data to multiple users and also collects data from users. ONT (Optical Network Terminal) or ONU (Optical Network Unit): This is a device located at the customer's premises. It receives data sent from the OLT. The terms ONT and ONU are sometimes used interchangeably, but ONT is usually customer facing and ONU can refer to a larger device that serves multiple customers in some situations.

 

 

 Distance and Coverage: The GPON standard allows for a coverage range of up to 20 kilometers (about 12.4 miles) between the central office and the end user, making it suitable for both densely populated urban areas and larger rural areas.

 Security: GPON has built-in security features. Data encryption ensures that even if someone breaks into the fiber optic cable, they cannot decipher the data traveling through it.


Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) is a network that uses fiber optic cables to transmit information. GPON is currently the mainstream passive optical network. GPON offers ratios of up to 1:64 over a single fiber. Unlike the standard copper wires of most networks, GPON is 95% energy efficient. In addition to efficiency, passive optical gigabit networks offer a cost-effective solution for adding users through splitters, making GPON desirable in densely populated areas.

IOT Devices

 



The Internet network of devices includes the expansion of Internet connections beyond standard devices such as laptops, smartphones, computers, etc. IoT devices are associated with advanced technologies that allow them to interact or communicate effectively over the Internet. Today, the number of IoT devices has exceeded the population of the world. Having a good understanding of IoT devices can help you work in emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, etc. This IoT devices blog will let you know the critical features of popular IoT devices like Google Home Voice Controller, Mr Coffee Smart Cookmaker, Amazon Dash Button, August Smart Lock, etc.

 

The Internet of Things or IoT technology has taken the industry by storm. Not only has it transformed the home space, but now it also has great industrial applications leading to sustainable manufacturing processes. In this article, we will discuss what these IoT devices are, their pros and cons, where they can be used, and the top 20 devices to review.

 

 What are IoT devices?

 IoT devices are devices connected via the Internet to transmit and receive information from other devices, systems or people on a network. IoT devices give us the ability to control and manage these internet-connected devices from anywhere in the world. Seamless communication with IoT devices is achieved through responsive sensors, low-cost wireless technology, NFC, LTE, Bluetooth, wireless standards and other similar technologies.
