Fiber Optic Transmission Upstream and Downstream
They facilitate simultaneous signal transmission in both upstream and downstream directions to and from user endpoints. The basic components of a PON network include the Optical Line Terminal (OLT), Optical Network Unit (ONU), optical fiber, splitter, fiber distribution hub, and. A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications network that uses only unpowered devices to carry signals, as opposed to electronic equipment. In practice, PONs are typically used for the last mile between Internet service providers (ISP) and their customers. PON networks enable simultaneous access for multiple users over a single optical fiber, supporting point-to-multipoint (P2MP) transmission. Data transmission from the OLT to the ONU is defined as downstream, while transmission from the ONU to the OLT is upstream; full-duplex transmission is adopted.
