Gigabit passive optical networks (GPON) and the network analysis in the fiber to the home (FTTH) project applications in Ankara

In this thesis, the FTTH architectures, which are used by the telecom operators steadily in recent years to provide the increasing subscribers? expectations, and the application of Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON), which has increasing popularity amongst the FTTH architectures in Ankara are examined. The advantages and disadvantages of GPON architecture over traditional copper networks are presented with bit rate and cost comparison of a target site which has both GPON and copper networks. Cost comparisons between the networks are also made.
