What is GPON?
1. What is a GPON Solution?
GPON, stands for a Gigabit Passive Optical Network.
The GPON solution is the highest speed, longest life, lowest cost fibre network infrastructure available in the market.
Offering a genuine future‐proof access network with flexibility and upgrade capability well into the future.
This high bandwidth, power saving, green technology is transforming a wide range of businesses and government agencies.
GPON is a proven economically viable solution for airports, aged care facilities, campus-style building layouts, Defence bases, high-rise apartments, hotels, mining camps, retirement living developments, residential estates & shopping centers.
2. How does GPON Technology Work?
GPON is a single point to multi-point access network.
Using passive splitters, GPON enables one single fibre to serve multiple rooms, aged care, hotel rooms, homes and small businesses.
Thus, giving the end user the ability to consolidate multiple services onto a single fibre data network.
GPON is also totally scalable without the need to re-cable the network.
Systems can be configured up to many thousands of users with multiple OLT chassis.
So as usage trends evolve and end-user’s bandwidth requirement grows, GPON enables future upgrade migration without passive Infrastructure replacement.
3. What is Driving the Need for GPON Solutions Globally?
The availability of high-speed internet connectivity along with the growing popularity of IP television and video streaming services is expected to support GPON market growth.
GPON technology supports next-generation Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) systems for fast and reliable internet access.
GPON is a proven economically viable solution for airports, aged care facilities, campus-style building layouts, Defence bases, high-rise apartments, hotels, mining camps, retirement living developments, residential estates & shopping centers.
In addition, this technology is based on a point-to-multipoint access mechanism, which leverages a single fiber network to serve multiple customers. It also ensures low latency and increases scalability in data transmission.
The GPON service segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 15% from 2020 to 2026. The demand for GPON managed services across established enterprises has increased significantly.
Companies are focusing on optimizing network performance and improving operational efficiency. Managed service providers provide optic network management, Quality of Service, and remote monitoring.
GPON solutions also help companies to enhance productivity and improve service accessibility. The mobile backhaul application segment in the GPON technology market is increasing exponentially over the coming years.
The growing need to improve service quality and reduce operational expenditure for mobile backhaul applications across telecom companies will support segment growth. In addition, telecom enterprises are also adopting XGS-PON networks to lower CAPEX required for backhaul equipment amid the intense pricing competition.
The 10 Gigabit Symmetric (XGS) PON technology segment is projected to grow significantly over the forecast timeline at a CAGR of over 15%.
Major companies are adopting XGS-PON technology to handle cost and performance-based challenges. This technology helps companies to use a unique universal fiber network to deliver multiple services with dual-rate transmission.
This helps enterprises in eliminating the need for deploying multiple fiber connections and reducing operational expenditure. The adoption of GPON technologies by the residential segment is increasing considerably and will hold above 60% share by 2026.
Telecom operators use XGS-PON technology on a single passive optical networking infrastructure to provide high-speed residential broadband services. In addition, the increase in demand for triple-play services, which include video, voice, and data services is also expected to bolster the demand for GPONs across the residential segment.

4. GPON Solutions are Fast and Reliable Proven Technology
GPON’s passive optical network delivers a much higher bandwidth capacity than traditional networks, with speeds capable of exceeding the maximum NBN plan by ten times.
The GPON cabling has a longer life span, longer reach, is less susceptible to interference, and has faster connector solutions.
Sample listing of Carriers using the GPON solution Globally;
- NBN Co. – Australia wide.
- Opticomm – Australia wide.
- Verizon – USA wide.
- Vodaphone – UK wide.
- Chorus – NZ wide.
As of July 2021, 12 million homes and business’s are connected or can be to the NBN GPON network.

5. GPON Solutions are Cost Saving Technology
Switching to a GPON solution enables short term and long term cost savings.
A GPON solution is the lowest cost network infrastructure available in the market, using 80% less copper and 60% less power than traditional networks.
With a GPON solution there are also lower training, maintenance, installation and operational costs. At the same time, a GPON solution extends the lifecycle of network infrastructure.
A GPON solution fibre is also substantially lighter, affording huge cost savings for larger projects and transport of cabling.

6. GPON Solutions are Safe & Secure Technology
A GPON solution delivers greater network security with fewer interruptions to the service.
Powerful security measures at the physical layer, data layer and the end user port greatly reduce or eliminate the potential for Denial of Service (DoSS), redirects or other malicious attacks.
7. GPON Solutions are Green Technology
GPON technology allows businesses and government agencies to boost their Green Star Rating. GPON systems utilise fibre optic cabling which is made from glass that can be recycled.
As well as using up to 90% less copper and up to 60% less power than traditional networks, ongoing environment benefits include the up to 90% reduction in air-conditioning requirements.

8. GPON Solutions are a Space Saving Technology
A GPON solution eliminates the need for multiple comm’s rooms full of duplicated infrastructure.
And because GPON only uses one cable, instead of multiple cables,
GPON technology also reduces spacial requirements for cable pathways by up to 80%.

9. GPON Solutions are a Future-Proofed Technology
Because a GPON solution delivers fibre to the room there is no longer a need to replace the entire network as technology evolves.
The GPON solution will support advances in end user technology requirements without the need to replace or upgrade the GPON infrastructure.
Simply, the existing GPON cards can be combined with the new GPON cards in the same chassis.
And recent advances in GPON technology (NGPON2 and XGSPON) means GPON can continue to exceed the bandwidth requirements of end users for the next two or three generations of technology.
10. Conclusion
Across the globe, business’s, cities and countries are updating their infrastructure by installing the GPON solution.
It is proven beyond doubt that a GPON solution can deliver a better user experience: higher bandwidth capacity; substantial short term and long term cost savings; safer, faster, greener, space saving and future proofed technology when compared to a traditionally Cat 6 or 6a Enterprise solution.
It’s never been more important to invest in a future-proof network that supports innovation and growth, and with a GPON solution which is proven globally, the future of cable network infrastructure is already here.
