Briefly describe a passive optical network (PON) architecture.

What will be an ideal response?


To make rollouts affordable, most fiber-to-the-home technologies employ a version of passive optical network (PON) architecture that uses a single fiber to the neighborhood switch and then individual fiber runs to each final destination. PON uses WDM to enable multiple signals to travel on the same fiber and then passively splits the signal at the switch to send traffic to its proper recipient.
