Optical communication, which involves transmitting light waves through fiber optic cables, is essential for high-speed broadband services. Whether networks are fully or mostly fiber-based, fiber optics play a crucial role.

This PON training provides an overview of what a Passive Optical Access Network is about and mainly dives deeper into XGS-PON, the version that offers a symmetrical 10 Gbps capacity. It includes the architectures, components, protocol stack, provisioning, management, security, future trends and more. It's an excellent starting point for those new to the technical and protocol aspects of XGS-PON.

Achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ideas behind the PON recommendations with main focus on the current most popular version of FTTx, being XGS-PON.

Understand the most important key issues and advantages of a PON deployment.

Have an in-depth understanding of the different layers, protocols and messages within XGS-PON.

After attending this course, the attendee will be capable of understanding the PON architecture and concepts.
