This chapter discusses the extensibility of fiber to the x (FTTx) households, specifically in the territory of the European Union. The Czech Republic has made a commitment to other member states to provide connectivity of at least 100 Mbit/s for half of the households by 2020. Although Internet access in the Czech Republic is mostly dominated by wireless fidelity (WiFi), this technology is not capable of meeting the demanding current demands at a reasonable price. As a result, passive optical networks are on the rise in access networks and in mobile cell networks by fiber to the antenna (FTTA). Passive optical networks use much more complex networks. In cooperation with Orange Slovakia, the analysis of the transmitted data was conducted. The optical network unit management and control interface (OMCI) channel data, as well as the activation data associated with specific end units, were analyzed. We propose a complete analysis of the end-unit-related activation process, download, and initialization of the data image for setting the end units and voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) parameters. Finally, we performed an analysis of the transmission of dying gasp

The optical infrastructure is essential for current applications that demand a high bandwidth [1–3]. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has been developing standards for passive optical networks (PONs) for over 20 years [4, 5]. The second most active organization in this area is the Institute of Electrical and

Passive optical networks are currently expanding, as the European Union (EU) has allocated budget to extend the coverage of these networks [8]. Today, the access network is not only about transferring data streams from/to the Internet. The popularity of Amazon TV, Netflix, and so on puts increased demands on bandwidth. Current transmission speeds are not sufficient, and a bandwidth of at least 100 Mbit/s in every household is still under consideration. In the Czech Republic, the utilization of gigabit PON (GPON) standard still dominates. However, such standard was in its first version approved back in 2003 [9]. This standard makes it possible to achieve a bandwidth of up to 2.5 Gbit/s in full duplex mode, but the disadvantage is that the bandwidth is fully shared by
