Research on EPON Technology and Network Application

Despite a rapid development in Ethernet-based Passive Optical Network (EPON) technology, problems remain in its network and application. In due consideration of actual telecom service demand featuring in distribution, research-based EPON principles and scheme selection are proposed in this article. It covers distribution principles for Optical Line Terminals (OLT), optical splitter, Optical Network Unit (ONU), and selection for network scheme. Construction and capital expenditure can be effectively reduced for telecom operators via the construction of EPON with good capability for expansion.
