PON technology enables bidirectional transmission over a single fiber
Passive Optical Networking (PON) leverages time-division multiplexing (TDM) and different wavelengths of light to transmit and receive data on a single fiber strand. A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications network that uses only unpowered devices to carry signals, as opposed to electronic equipment. In practice, PONs are typically used for the last mile between Internet service providers (ISP) and their customers. XGS-PON – 10G Symmetrical PON – offers speeds of up to 10 Gbps downstream and 10 Gbps upstream (hence the term 'symmetrical'), making it ideal for. This paper further demonstrates the use of PON technology via a case study on the design and implementation of a bidirectional optical fiber network.
