A PON takes advantage of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), using one wavelength for downstream traffic and another for upstream traffic on a single mode fiber (ITU-T G.652, typically OS2). BPON, EPON, GEPON, and GPON have the same basic wavelength plan and use the 1490 nanometer (nm) wavelength for downstream traffic and 1310 nm wavelength for upstream traffic. 1550 nm is reserved for optional overlay services, typically RF (analog) video.

Understanding ODN Architecture in Fiber Access Networks
The Optical Distribution Network (ODN) is the passive fiber infrastructure that connects the central office OLT to each subscriber in FTTH, FTTB, and FTTO deployments.
Defining ODN: Optical Distribution Network
An Optical Distribution Network (ODN) is a component of modern optical fiber communication systems, serving as the intermediate layer between the central office or data center and the end-user premises.
ODN: Optical Distribution Network Explained
An Optical Distribution Network (ODN) is the passive fiber infrastructure connecting Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to end-users in Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks.
What Is Passive Optical Networking (PON)?
Passive optical networking (PON), like active optical networking, uses fiber-optic cabling to provide Ethernet connectivity from a main data source to endpoints.
What is ODN (Optical Distribution Network)?
What is ODN (Optical Distribution Network)? An ODN, or Optical Distribution Network, is the passive portion of a fiber-optic network that links the OLT at the central office to ONUs/ONTs at
Passive optical network
In this one-to-many topology, a single fiber serving many sites branches into multiple fibers through a passive splitter, and those fibers can each serve multiple sites through further splitters.
