Overview

Testing Ethernet Passive Optical Network

This white paper discusses the different types of Passive Optical Networks with a particular
focus on the technology and testing of Ethernet Passive Optical Networks.

Passive Optical Networks (PONs) take the “next step” beyond copper DSL and cable to deliver high-bandwidth services to residential and business telecommunication customers. As the name suggests, PONs deliver optical services, or “Fiber to the Home” (FTTH) directly to the end-customer. In some cases, PONs are used to get high bandwidth “close” to the home, enabling higher bandwidth to be delivered over the copper infrastructure over a shorter distance. Regardless of the application, PONs hold the promise of delivering a vast array of high-bandwidth services to the consumer.
