Features: Passive Optical Network (PON) technology is one of the mainstream technologies for broadband access, especially as a competitive solution for Fiber to the Home (FTTH). Its unique advantages in broadband access are gaining widespread recognition, both domestically and internationally, and it has now begun to enter the large-scale application phase. This book comprehensively and systematically introduces various PON technologies, covering main topics such as the basic concepts, functions, and characteristics of broadband access networks, various broadband access technologies; the fundamentals of PON and its various multiple access technologies; the supporting technologies of TDM/TDM-APON; ATM-based PON technology; Gigabit Ethernet-based PON technology, and GPON technology. The final chapter of the book discusses the application methods of various PON technologies and conducts a comparative analysis of PON with other wired broadband access technologies such as ADSL, FTTB+LAN, and point-to-point optical Ethernet access. This book is suitable for technicians and marketing personnel in telecom departments, as well as for postgraduate students and senior undergraduate students in communication-related fields at universities.
