P2MP VS P2P in FTTX network

In the FTTX networking, there are types P2MP and P2P, P2MP is point to multi points as know the technology of PON (GPON and GEPON); P2P is point to point Ethernet. PON is a passive type point-to-multipoint network having active points on the ends and passive assemblies (PLC splitters, fiber patch cords, fiber connectors, etc.) in between. P2P network is using active switches instead of passive splitters. Comparison of two different FTTH technologies, the PON network to the top is having only passive splitters between CO and ONTs.  The P2P network to the bottom is having distribution nodes (mostly L2 switches) and access nodes (L2 or L3 equipment) between CO and optical/electrical conversion (in the home).

Different areas have their own preference; PON is more established in America and Asia, while P2P Ethernet is more popular in Europe. Sopto can provide simple devices in FTTX network, such as PLC Splitters, patch cords, fiber cables, media converters, if you have interests, you may send your requirements to sissiy@sopto.com.
