OLT
An Optical Line Terminal (OLT) is placed at a broadband service provider’s central
office, where it receives voice, video, and other data from the service provider’s
networking servers. It then converts and transmits this data as light across a fiber
optical network, where it is received and translated on the opposite end by one or
more Optical Network Units (ONUs).
FTTx
Fiber-To-The-x (FTTx) refers to networking infrastructure that extends from a
service provider to the x, where x can be one of many locations: Office (FTTO),
Home (FTTH), Desk (FTTD), Building (FTTB) or even Curb (FTTC), to name a few.
In an FTTO connection, the Optical Network Unit (ONU) is often placed inside the
building, whereas in FTTH or FTTC the fiber ends at an end-user’s house (or
somewhere nearby), or at a curb-side unit.
Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3z standard) uses Ethernet over copper wire
technology to increase network data rates to 1 Gbit/sec. It is built upon standard
4-pair Category 5 copper cabling.
GEM
The Generic Encapsulation Method (GEM) provides a method for PON devices to
natively transmit both Ethernet and TDM data over optical fiber.
ATM
Asynchronous Transfer Method (ATM) is a LAN and WAN networking technology
that provides high-speed data transfer. ATM uses fixed-size packets of information
called cells. With ATM, a high QoS (Quality of Service) can be guaranteed.
TDM
In Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), individual data subchannels can occupy the
entire frequency bandwidth of a communication stream at certain specific times,
and cannot transmit at other times. Each subchannel takes turns using the
communications stream. TDM is typically used in FTTx and satellite
communication.
