A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications technology that provides end-customers with broadband network connectivity. Its architecture uses a point-to-multipoint topology, in which a single optical fibre serves multiple endpoints by dividing the fibre bandwidth among multiple access points using unpowered (passive) fibre optic splitters.

The demand for Gigabyte Passive Optical Network (GPON) equipment will increase due to the increasing penetration of telecom and internet services, as well as the growing need for bandwidth. Data-intensive applications like video on demand, videoconferencing, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) are predicted to increase demand for Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment development.
In comparison to other conventional networks, rising awareness of global warming has led to a rise in demand for eco-friendly solutions throughout the world. In addition, rising demand for safe, secure, and dependable operations, as well as increased digitalization, are likely to drive the passive optical network market demand. Growing demand for high-speed networks at home for accessing smart technologies, as well as increasing fiber-to-the-home deployments for rapid access to data, videos, voice, and services, are all adding to the rise. Over the projection period, demand is likely to be driven by the increasing penetration of smart grids, e-governance services, and cloud computing.
The Internet of Things (IoT) involves connecting number of devices through a single source, which is achieved through deployment of passive optical network. The global connected devices industry is anticipated to witness an exponential growth over the next five years. The Internet of Things driven products is expected to account for three times the global population over the years. This is due to the rapid technological acceleration, which is increasing the adoption of Internet of Things in every sector. The upsurge in advanced sensors production, and rise in sophistication of cognitive analytics will enable every device to provide feedback with the help of IoT. Passive optical network plays an important role in connecting devices. PON is manageable and scalable, which makes the system flexible. The IoT demands for centralized architecture, and intelligent management, which are key characteristics of PON. In addition, the PON is capable of transmitting data to 32 users at a time, with only one terminal at the source. This facilitates heavily in connecting number of devices through one source terminal. The PON poses various advantages in connecting devices, such as more space, improved scalability, enhanced security, and lowers costs. Attributing to no usage of switches, and no need of cables, number of telecom rooms are used for other purposes, thus, POL is helping in freeing up space. The PON uses less wirings as compared to traditional systems, which increases the ability to scale the system as per the requirement. The Ethernet ports are locked with PON, which need two way access to open, thereby minimizing the risk of data breaching and enhancing the security with PON. As PON utilizes less components and space, the Capex and Opex is greatly reduced as compared to other data transmission systems. Pertaining to these advantages of PON over legacy systems, the Internet of Things service providers are increasingly adopting the robust technology
