If you have read our blog before, you are probably familiar with the concept of FTTH<\/a>, which stands for Fiber to the Home. It basically comes from the acronym FTTx, which refers to fibre for home use: it can be to a general building, or to the office, or to the flat you live in.<\/p>\n

The discovery of this last part of the telecommunications we use in our daily lives greatly improved internet connections. Whereas before, with other types of connections such as ADSL, the connection speed was much slower. But then, thanks to FTTH, connectivity has improved enormously. This makes it possible for everyone to have the same quality in using the online world at home.<\/p>\n

So now the next question may arise… What is GPON<\/a> then, and how is it related to FTTH? There are many people who think that they are opposite concepts. But this is not the case: each refers to one part of the internet connection journey, and GPON has brought a new breakthrough in the use of FTTH.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

In order to clear up any doubts about GPON, we are going to talk in depth about GPON and its advantages, as well as the relationship between the two acronyms. If you are interested, then read on to find out more about the advantages and the relationship between the two acronyms!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

What exactly is GPON?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

The GPON<\/a> concept comes from an acronym for Gigapit-capable Passive Optical Network, which is literally: “”Gigapit-capable Passive Optical Network””. This in English means “Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network”. It refers to all the equipment involved in the transmission over the cable at a good speed.<\/p>\n

This concept started to be developed in the early 1990s, but has logically evolved until today. In this way, it has become a true revolution in the telecommunications world. GPON allows different connections to be made in the same active equipment procedure at the same time.<\/p>\n

A GPON connection, to make it more or less clear to you how it works, has several devices or equipment operating. These are the following:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
