EPON vs GPON, which is better??


EPON and GPON adopt different standards. Generally GPON is more advanced, which can transmit larger bandwidth, and bring more users than EPON. GPON is derived from the early APON\BPON technology of optical fiber communication, and the ATM frame format is used to transmit the code stream. The E of EPON refers to the interconnected Ethernet, so when EPON was born, it was required to be able to directly and seamlessly connect with the Internet, so the code stream of EPON follows the frame format of Ethernet. Therefore, in order to adapt to the transmission on the optical fiber, a layer of frame format defined by EPON is wrapped outside the frame of the Ethernet frame format.


The EPON standard is IEEE’s 802.3ah. The basic principle of the IEEE’s formulation of the EPON standard is to carry out EPON standardization work within the 802.3 architecture as much as possible, and to minimize the expansion of the standard Ethernet MAC protocol.


 The GPON standard is the ITU-TG.984 series of standards. The formulation of the GPON standard takes into account the support for traditional TDM services, and continues to adopt a 125ms fixed frame structure to maintain 8K timing continuity. In order to support multiple protocols such as ATM, GPON has defined a new packaging structure GEM: GPONEncapsulaTIonMethod. The ATM and other protocol data can be mixed and encapsulated into frames.


In terms of application, GPON has a larger bandwidth than EPON. Its service carrying capacity is more efficient, and its optical splitting capability is stronger. It can transmit larger bandwidth services and achieve more user access. It pays more attention to multi-service and QoS guarantee, but the realization is more complicated. , This has led to its higher cost relative to EPON, but with the large-scale deployment of GPON technology, the cost difference between GPON and EPON is gradually shrinking.
