The main advantage that GPON has over
other connection types is its fiber optic design. Compared to the more common
copper wire, optical fiber transmits signals as photons instead of electrons –
hence the name “optical”.
therefore
does not have the same limitations as traditional twisted pair connections.
Instead, it has the following advantages:
• Faster
connection speeds The optical fiber in a Gigabyte PON network essentially
transmits light. And nothing travels faster than light, at least in our
universe. This allows Gigabyte PON to transmit data at extremely high speeds,
up to 2.488 Gb/s to be precise.
• Energy
efficiency. In order for a signal to be transmitted, it must pass through
several points, as mentioned above. However, all these points are passive and
do not require additional energy to power them. As a result, the final energy
consumption of Gigabyte PON is much lower, for example 0.5 watts/user compared
to 1.8 watts/user for ADSL PON. This means that gigabyte networks not only have
less negative impact on the environment, but they are also cheaper to maintain.
Which leads us to our next point:
• Easier and
cheaper maintenance A typical gigabyte network contains fewer devices and
components than older standard networks. Because these components are passive,
they are more reliable and much cheaper to maintain or replace. However, that
doesn't mean that gigabyte PONs are completely problem-free. Expert
intervention may be required to ensure proper operation. Gigabyte PON repair
and maintenance is one of the services that Commercial Electronics Inc.
specializes in. The company offers a wide range of fiber optic cable repair and
maintenance services.
