NG-PON2 (Next Generation Passive Optical Network 2, or ITU-T G. 989) is the first multi-wavelength access standard. Cisco's family of 10-Gbps symmetrical passive optical network (XGS-PON) Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) delivers flexible, high-performance broadband connectivity for a wide range of fiber-to-the-premises use cases, including residential spaces, Multidwelling Units (MDUs), Small Office/Home Office. Passive Optical Network (PON) systems are the most popular technology choice for providing gigabit-class and multigigabit optical broadband services to customers, exceeding the capacity of xDSL or other copper-connected technologies. For over 20 years, various technology standards have existed to. 10G-PON (also known as XG-PON or G. 987) is a 2010 computer networking standard for data links, capable of delivering shared Internet access rates up to 10 Gbit/s (gigabits per second) over optical fibre. 10G-PON builds on your existing fiber investment, letting you introduce faster speeds and new services gradually—without disrupting what's already working for your subscribers. 10G-PON uses fiber-optic cable to deliver very high-capacity connections to multiple subscribers simultaneously—providing. The ITU-T G. 984 Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON, G-PON) standard, first defined in 2003, represented an increase, compared to BPON, in both the total bandwidth and bandwidth efficiency through the use of larger, variable-length packets. This Recommendation describes a system that represents an.
