So this is a great time to start thinking about what needs to be done to set up a network! Choosing the right type of technology is one of the biggest choices that you have to make. I assume you have heard of two most common types i.e GPON and EPON. Both are different types of networks technologies that can allow you to access the internet make use of digital services. In this guide, we will show you what these technologies are, how they work, plus the pros and cos so you can determine what’s best for you.

First, let’s dissect GPON and EPON. GPON — gigabit passive optical network EPON — Ethernet passive optical network They both utilize fiber optic cables (these cables are specially designed to transmit information rapidly) to help share internet and other digital features. Despite their similarities, there are notable differences between GPON and EPON that would influence your choice.

GPON vs. EPON

This is another difference in how the networks are structured and arranged. In GPON networks, the traffic between the networks and end-users is managed by devices known as Optical Line Terminals (OLT). This configuration is ideal for GPON networks where all lines can be longer and the network is designed to scale with a greater number of users. The difference being that EPON networks use Ethernet switches providing more flexibility, and ease of maintenance but unable to handle as many users or as much data as GPON.

Having established the differences, you may now be wondering what is better for your own network. There’s no simple answer — it really depends on your needs. So, if you are looking for a network that can capture many users and serve a lot of data simultaneously, then GPON could be your better option. You are focusing on high performance and it scales when your user base increases.
