ALSO CALLED: PON DEFINITION: A passive optical network (PON) is a system that brings optical fiber cabling and signals all or most of the way to the end user. Depending on where the PON terminates, the system can be described as fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC), fiber-to-the-building (FTTB), or fiber-to-the-home

WHITE PAPER:
This document outlines ECI's approach for fiber and microwave backhauling infrastructure. Their proposed solution offers optimal migration with uninterrupted service and the high-grade Quality of Service (QoS) expected from legacy networks.
WHITE PAPER:
Advances in optical networking are offering service providers the opportunity to re-engineer their core networks over the next several years.
A PON consists of an Optical Line Termination (OLT) at the communication company's office and a number of Optical Network Units (ONUs) near end users. Typically, up to 32 ONUs can be connected to an OLT. The passive simply describes the fact that optical transmission has no power requirements or active electronic parts once the signal is going through the network.
