FTTH (Fiber to the Home) is a passive optical network architecture where the optical fiber runs directly from the service provider’s central office to the end user’s premises. Unlike copper-based systems, FTTH delivers high-speed data, voice, and video services with very low attenuation and extremely high bandwidth capacity. The network consists of OLT, splitters, and ONU, enabling multiple users to share a single optical fiber without requiring active components in the field.
A Gigabit Passive Optical Network lab designed by AKADEMIKA provides a safe andcontrolled environment for experimenting with different GPON configurations,network topologies, and equipment settings
It allows students to test different scenarios, evaluate performance, and identify potential issues.
