FibreTel's network is a Fibre to the Home (FTTH) network based on the latest XGS-PON implementation, which is far superior to legacy GPON or Copper networks used by competitors.
XGS-PON (also known as 10G-PON) and GPON (Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network) are both types of passive optical networks (PONs) that are used to provide broadband internet access to homes and businesses. PONs are a type of fiber-optic network that uses a single fiber optic cable to connect multiple homes or businesses to the internet.
There are several key differences between XGS-PON and GPON that make XGS-PON generally considered to be superior. One of the main differences is that XGS-PON has a higher capacity than GPON. XGS-PON can support downstream speeds of up to 10 Gbps, while GPON is limited to 2.5 Gbps. This means that XGS-PON can support a larger number of users and devices, and can handle more demanding applications such as ultra-high-definition video streaming.
Another difference is that XGS-PON uses a more advanced modulation scheme called Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), which allows it to transmit more data over the same fiber optic cable. This can help reduce the cost of deploying XGS-PON networks, as fewer fibers may be required to achieve the same level of performance.
Overall, XGS-PON is considered to be a more advanced and capable technology than GPON, and is likely to become increasingly important as demand for high-speed broadband continues to grow.
