15 May 2011What is EPON? Interview with Irit Gillath, Director of Product Marketing The Access
Ethernet PON, or EPON, is based on the IEEE802.3 standard for a passive optical network (PON) and has been widely deployed, especially in the Far East. 10G EPON technology is now becoming available and is compatible with 1G-EPON. A 1G-EPON network can be incrementally upgraded to 10G-EPON, adding or replacing SFPs one at a time.
