Bandwidth demand and consumption have increased exponentially over recent years. This has been driven by a mutually reinforcing loop of usage and enablement: the development of technologies like streaming HDTV creates a demand for more bandwidth – and as soon as more bandwidth becomes available, even more, bandwidth-intensive technologies are rolled out, and so on and on. So there is a constant need to provide higher speed and higher capacity bandwidth to businesses and home consumers – as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) offers a number of advantages over active Ethernet for both providers and consumers.
Less physical equipment required
It's obvious that GPON reduces the reliance on and cost of physical equipment in the fibre distribution network. No physical switches are necessary, and because a single fibre can be split into many different signals, less fibre is required in the network. A GPON network is thus cheaper and quicker to construct. Den internet plans are pocket-friendly for individuals as well as large businesses.
Lower maintenance requirements
Less physical equipment means that the network is less susceptible to physical equipment failure, and requires less physical equipment maintenance. There is less that can go wrong with a network that mostly relies on completely passive components.
More bandwidth delivered more efficiently
GPON offers higher bandwidth delivery – it has a 2.4 Gbps downstream capacity and a 1.2 Gbps upstream capacity. It uses larger, variable length packets to transmit data and employs frame segmentation to give higher quality for voice and video traffic.
Easier network management
One of the design specifications of GPON was ease of troubleshooting. Because of the number of passive components, it lends itself more easily to centralised management, compared to an active Ethernet network. It is also easier to make high volume moves, changes and additions, with less field technician support required. It is a wireless internet connection like no other.
In some network areas, Alcatel-Lucent's technology is also providing backhaul connectivity, with the existing coaxial cable being used for 'last-mile' service delivery. Alcatel-Lucent's technology have enabled DEN Networks to launch its 'DEN Boomband' broadband service and deliver a high-quality broadband experience to customers. With Alcatel-Lucent's fiber and IP routing solutions, DEN Networks now extends high-speed Internet connectivity and services super fast surfing experience to more people and businesses around the country creating a new league of top internet service providers
