PON (Passive Optical Network) technology is currently the preferred technology in the field of optical access networks. It has obvious advantages in access rate, bandwidth efficiency and split ratio, full service carrying capacity and security. PON technology is also divided into EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) and GPON (Gigabit-Capable PON). The EPON technology is IEEE802.3EFM (Ethernet for the First Mile, first). The Miles Ethernet) working group is standardized; GPON technology is proposed and standardized by ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Group), which eventually forms the G.984.x series of standards.
