BPON, EPON, GEPON, and GPON have the same basic wavelength plan and use the 1490 nanometer (nm) wavelength for downstream traffic and 1310 nm wavelength for upstream traffic. 1550 nm is reserved for optional overlay services, typically RF (analog) video. 984 Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON, G-PON) standard, first defined in 2003,. PON (Passive Optical Network), as an access network technology, can implement fiber optic to the home, satisfying the high-bandwidth requirement of the "last kilometer" in the access layer network. As a key player in the FTTH (Fiber to the Home) revolution, EPON enables cost-effective, scalable internet access by leveraging passive. This is hybrid PON approach, taking aspects of traditional TDM/TDMA PON and WDM PON. EPON ONUs need to have Wavelength Blocking Filters (WBF) to block future PON wavelengths (10G EPON, TWDM, etc). Wavelength plans have been labeled from A, B to Z (although not all characters were used). Maybe soon we need to find a writing system that has more than 26 characters The driving forces behind seeking higher-speed PON are often assumed as various IP video related applications – HD, 4K,8k, DVR. Wavelength: Downstream transmission typically uses a 1490nm wavelength (GPON standard) to avoid interference with upstream signals. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA): Since multiple ONU/ONTs share the same fiber for upstream transmission, PON employs a TDMA mechanism to prevent signal.
