3.2 FTTx Applications (FTTH / FTTB)
Figure-4 FTTx Applications
„ FTTx is the main trend and final target for the development of optical communication. It
can provide the high speed bandwidth to users without traffic jam.
„ GEPON technology is the most practical and feasible access solution for FTTx.
„ OLT is setup in the central equipment room of a community, to connect to the backbone
networks of data, video and voice applications.
„ ONU can be deployed at residential homes via passive optical distribute network that
spans up to 20km radius.
„ ONU can be put in a building or an end user’s room. A user can choose to use the whole
ONU alone or just one port of ONU, which is bandwidth configurable and isolated from
the rest ports of the ONU.
