One fiber cable.
Everything over it.
GPON passive optical networks deliver TV, internet and WiFi to every room over a single fiber cable — with no active electronics between the rack and the room. Reliable, scalable and future-proof.
GPON Technology
What is GPON and why does it matter for hotels?
GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) uses a single fiber strand from the main distribution frame to serve multiple rooms using passive optical splitters — no powered switches or amplifiers in between. One cable per room carries TV signal (IPTV), high-speed internet and the backhaul for WiFi access points. The result: dramatically simplified infrastructure, fewer failure points and almost unlimited bandwidth capacity for the next 20+ years.

Infrastructure
Why GPON is the right infrastructure for modern hotels
One cable, everything
A single fiber per room delivers IPTV, internet and WiFi backhaul simultaneously. No separate coax for TV, Cat6 for internet and another run for WiFi — one clean cable pull.
No active elements — nothing to break
Between the OLT in the rack and the ONT in the room, there are only passive optical splitters. No powered switches in cable ducts, no failure points, no maintenance.
Virtually unlimited bandwidth
GPON supports 2.5 Gbps downstream per fiber. As bandwidth demand grows with 4K streaming and more devices per room, the infrastructure keeps pace without rewiring.
Perfect for new builds and renovations
GPON is the standard for new hotel construction across Europe. In renovations, the smaller fiber conduit is easier to route through existing walls than bulky copper cabling.
