 Based on continuous wavelength and bi-directional transmission on a single mode optical fiber.
Passive Optical Network gives solution with its low cost of deployment.
Point to multipoint single path connection using passive splitter.
Saves maintenance cost, power supply and more optimal and efficient utilization of optical

fiber.
Most economic network for optical fiber communication.

 Because Passive Optical Network uses optical splitter to separate and collect the optical

signals.
Each fiber optic strand can serve up to 32-users.

Improved service reliability and simplicity by using Passive Optical Network.

 1Gbps speed for <20km distance

Broadcasting takes place in downlink.

In uplink service channel shared by users.

No power utilization in Optical Fiber network as optical splitters used.

PASSIVE-FTTP

ACTIVE-FTTP

WDM-PON
TDM-PON

BPON

EPON

GPON

 Introduced in 1990s by FSAN for existing voice and phone services.

Effective in LAN, MAN and backbone networks.
But higher in cost and complex.
EPON has higher success rate due to low cost and simplicity, adapted in IP traffic network.

GPON introduced after to it and its cost 10 times higher than EPON network.

Wavelength Division Multiplexing-PON

Non-Standard type of optical network.
Costly Equipment.
Separate wavelength for each ONU possible.

2. Time Division Multiplexing-PON

Standard type of optical network.
Less-costly.

Passive optical splitter is used in the optical distribution network.

 APON and BPON rapidly replaced by EPON and GPON due to future scope and services

support.
Mainly concentrating on EPON and GPON .

 EPON used in both local area and metro networks.

Follow packet data transmission scenario

Uses standard IEEE 802.3ah (1 Gb/s),IEEE 802.3av (10Gb/s)

Principle- Downstream direction, Upstream direction

FeaturesOperational wavelength-downstream 1500nm

upstream 1350nm
Data rate-downstream 2.5Gbps
Upstream 1.25Gbps
Enables Triple Play (video-audio-data), IPTV, Live TV.

 This seminar report describes a vision and possible architectural approaches for a PON-based

converged access network, to support residential and business services.

Also notice that not only reduces the cost of providing business services, but also increases

revenue opportunities by expanding the business service availability.
