GPON technology supports high-bandwidth transmission to breakdown bandwidth bottleneck through the twisted-pair cables in order to meet requirements for high-bandwidth services such as IPTV and live TV broadcasts. Digitalization has enabled addressing crucial concerns such as signal tapping, which leads to piracy and results in deterioration of video quality among others.

However, increasing incidence of denial-of-service attack and data breaches, coupled with rising awareness related to data security and privacy among enterprises could restrain growth of the global GPON technology market to a certain extent. In addition, regulatory specifications from various local/regional telco regulatory authorities can involve complexities and requirements that need to be followed such as minimum coverage, infrastructure sharing, etc., and this is another factor expected to inhibit adoption of GPON technology to a certain extent.

NG-PON2 technology offers capacity management based on its tunable optics, built-in equipment protection using wavelength switching, wavelength channel bonding, and co-existence with RF video. This is expected to create revenue opportunities for GPON solution providers in the near future. Growing awareness among operators in developing countries about GPON technology and its advantages is expected to create lucrative opportunities for major players in the market. This also provides companies with opportunities to focus on penetrating into markets in developing countries and also expand revenue and customer base.
