Features: This book comprehensively and systematically introduces the principles, applications, and prospects of Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) technology. First, it discusses the important role of broadband access technology in Next Generation Networks (NGN), and EPON, as a new broadband optical access technology, provides a good opportunity for the future realization of all-service broadband optical access. Next, it analyzes Passive Optical Networks, briefly introduces APON, EPON, and CPON technologies, and compares them. Then, it provides a comprehensive elaboration on EPON technology, discussing it in detail from a technical perspective. After that, it explores and analyzes the applications and testing of EPON in practical scenarios. Finally, it summarizes the notable aspects of EPON that may have a significant impact on future technological development and analyzes them, while also providing an outlook on the prospects of EPON technology. This book can serve as a technical reference or training textbook for engineering and technical personnel, management personnel, telecom operators, and equipment manufacturers in the communication industry. It can also be used as a textbook or teaching reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in information and communication or computer science programs at universities.
