Previewing Our BICSI Presentation on Passive Optical Network (PON) Testing
A passive optical LAN, also sometimes referred to as simply a passive optical network (PON), is a point-to-multipoint architecture that used passive optical splitters to split optical transmission signals from a single strand of singlemode fiber into multiple outputs. The technology has gained wide acceptance in outside plant applications, and it is now gaining traction in premise applications—especially in government and hospitality markets. Passive optical LANs consist of an optical line terminal (OLT) that connects…
