Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is the latest access technology, based on IEEE standards, utilizing an optical network architecture optimized for simple, economical delivery of voice, data, and video over native Ethernet to residential, business, and enterprise customers. With the recent explosion of wireless enterprise Local Area Networks (LANs) and the widespread implementation of Wi-Fi networks in public hot-spots, the need for convergence of wired access networks (such as EPON) and wireless enterprise LANs is rapidly evolving and expanding.
