TECH TERMS - PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK

By support on September 24, 2010 1:12 PM | No Comments

Passive Optical Network (PON):

Definition: A Passive Optical Network consists of an optical line terminator located at the Central Office and a set of associated optical network terminals located at the customer's premise.

Between them lies the optical distribution network comprised of fibers and passive splitters or couplers. In a PON network, a single piece of fiber can be run from the serving exchange out to a subdivision or office park, and then individual fiber strands to each building or serving equipment can be split from the main fiber using passive splitters / couplers.

This allows for an expensive piece of fiber cable from the exchange to the customer to be shared amongst many customers thereby dramatically lowering the overall costs of deployment for fiber to the business (FTTB) or fiber to the home (FTTH) applications.

Mobile is 'new frontier' of health information

"In 10 years we have seen the Internet go from a slow, stationary, information vending machine to a fast, mobile, communications appliance that fits in your pocket," . . . "Information has become portable, personalized and participatory. In fact, as we have watched the rise of wireless access, we've identified an effect that we're calling 'the mobile difference.'
