Wi-Fi equipment with a PON optical port

PON

— optical interface for connecting to the provider's network, eliminating the need for a separate external ONU or ONT module.

Unlike a standard WAN connection via Ethernet, this setup receives internet through fiber optics, which is typical for GPON and other PON networks for home and office access. This solution is convenient as it reduces the amount of separate equipment needed, resulting in a tidier installation.

For example, a Wi-Fi router with PON can simultaneously receive internet via fiber optics and distribute it wirelessly within a home or small office.
