Passive Optical Network
network optical turn composed of a terminal line optical (OLT) at the service provider's central (hub) and a number of units optic network (commitment) (ONUs) or terminals optic network (ONTs) near end users. A passive optical network reduces the amount of fiber and central service equipment needed compared to a point-to-point architecture. Optical passive network is a type of optical fiber access network.< < > in most cases downstream signals are broadcasting to all locations that share a common fiber. Encryption can prevent eavesdropping. upstream signals using Multiple Access Protocol usually multiple access Time section (TDMA) are combined.
