GPON consists of three main elements: an OLT (Optical Line Terminals), ONU device (Optical Network Unit), and passive splitter. GPON is a leading standard of Passive Optical Network (PON) – a type of point-to-multipoint network technology that delivers broadband access to the end user via fiber optic cable. Here, the term 'Gigabit' in GPON denotes the maximum speed it provides which is typically 2. There are no specific requirements for this document. It is widely used in residential and business broadband services, supporting applications such as VoIP, IPTV. ITU-T G. 984 is the series of standards that define the architecture and operation of gigabit -per-second–capable passive optical network (GPON). It is commonly used to implement the link to the customer (the last kilometre, or last mile) of fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) services, using a.
