      abstract = {PON which simply means passive optical network, it is the main technology for implementing FTTH. It provides a point to multipoint fiber access. It consists of the OLT optical line terminal on other side and the optical network unit on the other side. GPON is the new generational broadband passive optical integrated access standard based on ITU-TG.984x standard. It has many advantages such as  high bandwidths and high efficiencies. The EPON is an Ethernet based PON technology that uses a point to multi point architecture t, passive optical fiber transmission and provides multiple services over Ethernet. The major problem with the EPON is it has a lower bandwidths and lower efficiency. The idea of the developing the GPON was to have an improved version of the EPON but with a higher bandwidths and higher efficiencies. From the result, it is shown that the GPON has a higher efficiency, higher performance higher bandwidths when compared to the EPON though the EPON has a better rising time and costing.},
