Passive Optical Network: FAQ’s
What is Passive Optical Network?
Passive Optical Network (PON) is a type of fibre-optic access network. A PON reduces the amount of cabling and equipment required compared to an active optical network, where each user has a separate connection to the network hub. Generally, a PON configuration contains an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service provider's central office and a number of optical network units (ONUs) or optical network terminals (ONTs) near end users.
How does it work?
PON uses an optical splitter to allow multiple subscribers to share a single fibre connection to the service provider's network. Furthermore, the splitter is a passive device that does not require any power.
The OLT contains a laser that sends an optical signal down the fibre to the splitter. As a result, the splitter then separates the signal into multiple signals, each of which is sent to a different ONU or ONT.
The ONU or ONT converts the optical signal back into an electrical signal that can be used by the customer's equipment.

Benefits of fiber optic and passive optical lan testsmithponting
Passive optical LANs are a point-to-multipoint fiber architecture that use passive optical splitters to divide the signal from one singlemode fiber into multiple fiber signals. The signals are transmitted simultaneously in both directions over separate wavelengths using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology—1310nm for upstream data and 1490nm for downstream data.
Optical fiber networks operate on different passive optical network (PON) standards. A PON is a network system specific to fiber technology that delivers broadband network access to homes or businesses. One of many PON standards is GPON.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
2. Optical Communication Network
Optical means using the light as a carrier.
So Optical Communication Network, using the light as a carrier to
transfer various types of information from place to another in various types
of telecommunication network.
The optical network consists of an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service
provider's central office (hub) and a number of optical network
units (ONUs) or optical network terminals (ONTs), near end users.
Optical network Example, In the central office of the network’s core each
fiber is carrying shared information of multiple end-users, so how to send
and splitting each user’s information correctly. here two common ways of
optical technologies (network), both of them based on the way of splitting
the signals
The two methods are called Active Optical Networks (AON) or Passive
Optical Networks (PON), AON and PON offer a way to separate data and
set it upon its intended route to arrive at the proper place. The key
difference between AON and PON is how the signal is split between the
multiple fibers going to each customer.
Active Optical Network (AON): -
Active means using devices which are working depending on its connection
to electrical power source.
Active optical network, also called point-to-point network, usually uses
electrically powered switching equipment such as a router or switch
aggregator, to manage signal distribution and direct signals to specific user.
This switch directs the incoming and outgoing signals to the proper place or
to user. Customers can have a dedicate fiber running to his or her home.
You can see this below in the diagram. a switching device will typically route
signals to each user correctly as each user will receive his/her information
only and switch device can route up to about 500 customers.
3. Normally, signals need an optical-electrical-optical transformation in the
AON. Each signal leaving the central office is directed only to the customer
for whom it is intended.
Passive Optical Network (PON)
Passive means using devices which are working normally without having
any connection to electrical power source.
Different from AON, PON doesn’t contain electrically powered switching
equipment, instead it uses fiber optic splitters to guide traffic signals
contained in specific wavelengths. The optical splitters can split and collect
optical signals when they run through the network.
Powered equipment is needed only at the signal source and the receiving
ends of the signals. Usually, the PON network can distribute signals into 16,
32 and 64 customers.
You can see from the diagram that each customer receives signals intended
for someone else, so encryption/addressing ensures privacy is maintained.
4. The downstream signal coming from the central office is broadcast to each
customer premises sharing a fiber.
AON vs. PON
As data travel across the fiber connection, it needs a way to be directed so
that the correct information can arrive at its intended destination.
these two networks are widely applied in FTTH systems. However, each
system has their own disadvantages and advantages. Here is a simple
comparison between them.
Signal Distribution
In AON networks, users have a dedicated fiber optic cable, as each user gets
the same bandwidth that doesn’t be shared. While the users share the fiber
optic cable for a portion of the network. In PON there is no fiber optic cable
dedication all fiber cables carry multiple signals of multiple users.
Equipment
AON directs optical signals mainly by powered equipment while PON has no
powered equipment is needed in guiding signals except for two ends of the
system.
5. Cost
When running an existing network, it’s known to us that the main source of
cost is the maintenance and powering equipment. However, PON uses
passive components that only need less maintenance and do not need
power, which contributes to that PON building is cheaper than that of AON.
Coverage Distance
AON networks can cover a range to about 100 km, a PON is typically limited
to fiber cable runs of up to 20 km. That is to say, subscribers must be
geographically closer to the central source of the data.
Conclusion
In summary, AON and PON have their own advantages and disadvantages,
but both of them provide practical solutions for FTTH network connection.
During design there are many trade of between many elements and factors
(Less cost & coverage area & distance between central office and users and
between users each other & complexity, maintenance, ….), So when it
comes to choose which one of them, there is no right or wrong answers.
