GPON Network Solution

GPON is a point-to-multipoint fiber access network technology that uses passive splitters to deliver high bandwidth to multiple homes and businesses over a single fiber. It has a downstream capacity of 2.488 Gbps and upstream capacity of 1.244 Gbps that is shared among users. Encryption is used to keep each user's data private. Future versions like XG-PON and 10G-PON will provide even higher speeds of 10 Gbps downstream and 2.5 Gbps upstream. While some countries have implemented faster 40Gbps GPON, most Indian telecom providers still rely on existing 10G-GPON technology.

Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) is a high bandwidth shared fibre access technology. GPON
is a point-to-multipoint access mechanism. Its main characteristic is the use of passive splitters in the
fibre distribution network, enabling one single feeding fibre from the provider’s central office to serve
multiple homes and small businesses.

The GPON Optical Line Terminal (OLT) is typically installed in a Central Office (CO), though it could
be installed elsewhere. The optical splitter is installed somewhere between the CO and the subscribers.
And a GPON Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is installed at each subscriber’s home. Voice, video,
and data traffic must all be delivered across the single GPON downstream wavelength. A nice facet of
GPON for IP video support is that its downstream is naturally a broadcast medium, and it is very efficient
for delivering multicast traffic.

Fig-1: GPON Network Architecture


The diagram shows the architecture of a basic two wavelength GPON network architecture, which is
probably the most common implementation. The downstream wavelength is 1490nm and transmits data
at 2.488 Gbps. The upstream wavelength is 1310nm and transmits data at 1.244 Gbps.

GPON has a downstream capacity of 2.488 Gbps and upstream capacity of 1.244 Gbps that is shared
among users. Encryption is used to keep each user’s data secured and private from other users. Although
there are other technologies that could provide fibre to the home, passive optical networks (PONs) like
GPON are generally considered the strongest candidate for widespread deployments.

GPON provides Triple play services over IP of video, data and voice are often cited as driving user
demand for heavier usage of broadband that justifies PON investment. While RF overlay has been
popular in some countries and minimizes congestion caused by usage of video services, the convergence
of HDTV and IPTV, and the growth in internet cloud services could create demand for bandwidth that
exceeds the capacity of gigabit services in future. Teleworking and video conferencing are other
applications demanding such triple play capabilities.

In future GPON bring 10-Gigabit-capable passive optical network that is called XG-PON, whose
downstream capacity 10 Gbit/s and upstream capacity 2.5 Gbit/s (nominal line rate of 9.95328 Gbit/s
downstream and 2.48832 Gbit/s upstream).

The 10 Gigabit PON wavelengths is (1577 nm down / 1270 nm up) that differs from GPON and EPON
(1490 nm down /1310 nm up), allowing it to coexist on the same fibre with either of the Gigabit PONs.

“In year 2014, Huawei successfully completed 10G-GPON full-


service test with Etisalat on existing GPON network. As a fully
compatible service, the 10G-GPON technology can utilize the
existing infrastructure without affecting the ODN (Optical
Distribution Network)”

“Also Etisalat and Huawei signed a 4 year agreement to test an


ultra-fast 40Gbps GPON across Etisalat’s existing footprint which
got completed in 2018. And in 2019 they announced to complete
the industry's first testing of a single-wavelength 600G trial site.”
In India, most of Telecom Service Providers still rely on 10G-GPON technology. Indian market will
take some time to adapt 40Gbps Technology. If the 600G trial gets successful, it will greatly improve
the spectrum efficiency of optical networks.
