What is a GPON network management device
The standard specifies transmission convergence layer, physical layer requirements, management protocols, and service encapsulation for high-speed fiber access networks. GPON puts requirements on the optical medium and the hardware used to access it, and defines the manner in which Ethernet frames are converted to an optical signal, as well as the parameters of that signal. GPON replaces the traditional three-tier Ethernet design with a two-tier optic network which eliminates access and distribution Ethernet switches with passive optical devices. This document describes the Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology and how it functions. 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.
