Remember that this bandwidth is shared amongst end-users, which usually results in broadband access speeds starting at 10 Mbps. On the other side, Passive signifies that the Optical Fiber Network doesn\u2019t rely on any electrically-powered equipment in its path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Presently, GPON Technology has proven to be the most generic type of Optical Fiber connection, which is almost 95% more energy efficient than a standard copper cable network. Furthermore, GPON also has a 1:64 ratio on a single fiber which means one fiber cable in a GPON can deliver data, voice, and video to up to 64 end-users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes it the optical network standard of choice for getting last-mile connectivity in an efficient &amp; cost-effective manner, as a GPON reduces the no. of fiber runs in a Fiber Optical Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GPON\nhas 4 different components:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>OLT or Optical Line Terminal: <\/strong>It\nis the network manager of the GPON and its primary role is to send &amp;\nreceive video, voice &amp; data optical signals to &amp; from the ONT at the\nreceiver&#8217;s end. Optical Line Terminal sends downstream optical signals at 1550\nnm for video &amp; 1490 nm for data &amp; voice, whereas it gets upstream\noptical signals at 1310 nm and this prevents interference. Optical Line\nTerminal also converts received optical signals into electrical signals. It is\nconnected to the optical splitter through backbone cabling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optical Fibre Splitter: <\/strong>This\nis a passive component that enables a single fiber optic cable to be split into\nmultiple single strands of optic fiber that branch out &amp; connect to\nindividual Optical Network Terminals at end-user premises. A GPON splitter\noften has a particular spilt ratio that could be 1:64, 1:32, 1:16, 1:8, 1:4,\ndepending upon the no. of outputs required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ONT\nor Optical Network Terminal<\/strong>: The user end-point of GPON is\nthe Optical Network Terminal. It\u2019s a specialised modem for converting optical\nsignals into electrical signals at the end-user\u2019s premises. Hence, it enables\nbroadband access for equipment like TVs, WiFi, desktops, etc. An Optical\nNetwork Terminal also sends optimised data &amp; aggregated data from the\nend-user back to the Optical Line Terminal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transmitting\nMedia<\/strong>: The transmitting media consists of the physical,\npassive hardware in the form of cabling &amp; various components that is used\nalong the GPON infrastructure. This comprises copper cables, patch cords for\nfiber optics, splitters, connectors, adapter panels, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_Required_for_TEC_Certification_for_GPON_Devices\"><\/span>Documents\nRequired for TEC Certification for GPON Devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following\nis the list of vital documents for TEC Certification for GPON Devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Authorised Signatory from the\nauthorised Indian Company;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In case of a Foreign\nManufacturer, he or she needs to appoint an Authorised Indian Representative to\nas a representative for the MTCTE Certification procedure.
