POL and PON
From PON to POL The passive optical LAN (POL) can be viewed as a PON for enterprise applications. Its networking mode and
components of the active and passive parts are similar to those of an FTTH network. Regarding the network scale
and types of access users, optimization is made on the POL to meet enterprise customers' requirements. Using
