Component (Optical Line Terminal OLT, Optical Network Terminal ONT)
ONT segment is likely to hold more than 73% GPON market share by 2037. ONTs can support various services such as internet access, VoIP, and video streaming, making it a versatile solution for different applications. An Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is a device located at the customer's premises that connects to the Passive Optical Network (PON) and communicates with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide an Internet connection. It is responsible for converting optical signals to electrical signals via a fiber cable and organizing and optimizing different types of data coming from customers to efficiently send it to an ISPs central hub.
Technology (2.5G PON, XG-PON, XGS-PON, NG-PON2)
By the end of 2037, 2.5G PON segment is set to account for more than 50% GPON market share. Other segments such as XG-PON and XGS-PON are also poised for expedited growth. NG-PON2 exhibits the potential to become the future frontrunner, driven by its compatibility with 5G networks and the burgeoning demand for high-speed internet access and advanced functionalities. This market expansion is propelled by a plethora of factors, including the increasing popularity of quad-play services, the diminishing costs of advanced GPON systems, and ongoing technological advancements that deliver superior bandwidth, speed, and security.
Application (FTTH, FTTB, FTTC)
