Many Russian users access the Internet, taking advantage of one of the latest communication technologies - GPON. The infrastructure built on the basis of this standard is actively used by leading Russian and global telecommunications companies. What are the features of this technology? What are its advantages over competitive solutions?
Basic facts about the technology
What is GPON technology, connection to which is becoming widespread in many large cities of Russia? This communication channel is a passive fiber-optic network capable of providing Internet access at very high speeds - hundreds of megabits/sec. At the same time, this technology allows the provider to provide the subscriber with a large number of related services - IP telephony, digital television, etc. Many experts believe that GPON is the most promising technology in terms of providing Internet access.
The fact is that, unlike many other communication technologies, digital data when using GPON technology is transmitted not through a metal conductor, but through a light channel. This is typically a microscopic fraction of a second faster. But on the scale of a large city or region, the difference in data exchange speed can be quite noticeable. Also, transmitting a light pulse, as a rule, requires less energy than transmitting a signal through a metal wire. This, according to many experts, is due to a number of factors that determine the economic efficiency of GPON technology.
The maximum length of a fiber optic cable within which a stable signal can be transmitted is 20 km; technologies are being developed that can increase this figure to 60 km. The global spread of GPON technology began in the mid-90s, facilitated by the consolidated efforts of several of the world's leading telecommunications companies.
Tariffication
What are the tariffs offered by modern Russian providers using GPON? Everything, of course, depends on the specific region of the Russian Federation and city. As a rule, in the European part of Russia the Internet is much cheaper, regardless of the communication technology used, than in the Far East. But if we take the tariffs for the regions of the Middle Belt, then we can focus on approximately these values.
Megabits inexpensively
For Internet access at a speed of about 10-12 megabits/sec, the provider will ask about 300-400 rubles per month. If the user needs a larger resource, for example, 20-25 megabits, it will cost approximately 500-700 rubles. The pattern in determining the tariff “formula” is approximately the following - the more expensive the monthly subscription fee, the less the cost of an individual “megabit”.
Many providers provide their subscribers with the necessary equipment for free use. Moreover, in many cases, the access service provider is ready to send a wizard to the client’s home to set up the devices, who will also not charge anything. That is, payment for the tariff is actually all the costs that are borne by the subscriber. At least in this format, a service is provided based on GPON from MGTS (reviews from many subscribers contain unequivocally positive assessments regarding this option) - one of the largest and most actively developing providers in Russia in terms of mastering new technology.
Comparison with ADSL
Before Internet access began to actively spread, the typical communication standard used by Russian providers was ADSL access. In principle, even now in many cities it is considered the main one. Even in the Russian capital, many subscribers are connected through it. The main advantages of ADSL compared to GPON are that Internet access can be organized on the basis of an existing telephone line.
As a rule, no additional installation work is required. In turn, ADSL, as a rule, is significantly inferior to the new technology in terms of speed. If Internet access at 20-25 megabits per second for GPON is rather the norm, in the case of using ADSL it is in most cases an exception.
Economy option
However, in comparison with indicators for GPON, Internet tariffs via ADSL are usually lower. And this is more profitable for many users, since the speeds that are available when using older technology, namely 3-5 megabits per second, are enough for them to complete most of their tasks. This indicator, in particular, allows you to comfortably load any web pages, watch videos, listen to music, and communicate on Skype. Setting up a GPON connection, on the one hand, can be somewhat more complicated than the corresponding steps when working with an ADSL channel. This may apply to both software and hardware. However, as we have already said, in many cases the provider provides its subscribers with the appropriate services completely free of charge.
Disadvantages of GPON
What disadvantages of the technology in question do experts note? Some experts, for example, believe that the declared speed of 300 or more megabits per second for individuals cannot be achieved in most cases. Simply because the majority of modems adapted for using fiber optics at home (and almost all of those provided free of charge by providers) purely technologically cannot transmit data via Wi-Fi at speeds higher than 70-80 megabits. While for many Moscow users it is advisable to use the connection only in a wireless format. Although in some statements by MGTS representatives, GPON access for metropolitan subscribers will be provided through more modern Wi-Fi modems, in particular those operating at a frequency of 5 GHz. While most current ones operate at 2.4 GHz.
Economic factor
Among the economic disadvantages noted by experts that are characteristic of GPON-based networks (reviews of many confirm this), despite the low energy costs for signal transmission, the equipment necessary for organizing a full-fledged infrastructure is expensive and pays off rather slowly. Therefore, according to experts, it is advisable to introduce such technologies when the provider is confident that it will be possible to connect a sufficiently large number of clients to GPON. At the same time, according to calculations by a number of analysts, providers who have timely invested in modernizing the communication infrastructure, in particular in favor of switching to GPON, can subsequently reduce operating costs associated with maintaining the functionality of networks by several times.
Competitive solutions
What could be the alternatives to the GPON technology used by MGTS? Among these, experts note the DOCSIS standard, which is actively used by another Moscow provider, Akado. This technology involves the “hybrid” use of fiber optic channels - in terms of organizing communications between the provider’s servers and subscribers’ homes, as well as television cables laid in many metropolitan apartments - as user sections of the corresponding scheme for providing Internet access. The main advantage of this technology over GPON (reviews from many Akado users focus on this aspect) is that there is no need for noisy installation work in the apartment.
The typical access speed provided to metropolitan subscribers today is about 110 megabits, but technically this figure can be increased to 400, as many experts note.
Cable or fiber optic
Another advantage of DOCSIS over GPON (reviews from IT specialists confirm this) is that it is much better protected from possible damage. It often happens, for example, that homeowners accidentally step on the optical fiber or place furniture, causing the wire to quickly fail. Often this is not a “warranty case” - a technician from the provider, of course, will come, but this time not for free. In addition, a coaxial TV cable can be configured quite easily on your own, based on the convenience of its placement in the apartment. For example, if two of its segments are formed, they can be connected to each other using a simple coupling. With optical fiber in this sense, as a rule, it is more difficult.
New confrontation between giants
Another solution that can be a competitor to GPON from MGTS (reviews from many experts at least contain positive assessments regarding its prospects) is FTTB technology. It is used by VimpelCom, the structure that owns the Beeline brand.
By the way, an interesting fact can be noted: MGTS is a subsidiary of another Russian cellular operator, MTS. GPON, competing with FTTB, to some extent continues the confrontation between MTS and Beeline in their traditional markets. The access speed when using the technology in question is about 100 megabits. At the same time, as some experts note, it is technically possible to increase the figure to
We also note that MGTS is far from the only Russian communications service provider using promising fiber-optic technology. Rostelecom and many regional providers are actively connecting their subscribers to the Internet based on GPON.
GPON and the Russian communications market
Let's look at the marketing aspects of introducing GPON in Russia. As we noted above, one of the leading providers in the Russian Federation providing Internet access can be considered GPON from MGTS (reviews of this service can be found in large numbers on thematic portals) - a service within which Muscovites can access online at high speed about 300-500 megabits/sec. More than 3 million subscribers in the Russian capital have the technical ability to connect to the network using the new technology. At the same time, the demand for the service is supported not so much by the need for high speed as such, as some experts note, but by the fact that users from the Russian Federation are accustomed to using several devices at once to access the Internet - a PC, a tablet, a smartphone. Internet television is also in high demand. Therefore, in aggregate, Moscow users need a decent access speed so that there are enough channel resources for each of the devices used.
The plans are ambitious
MGTS, a subsidiary of MTS, plans to deploy GPON networks in terms of maximum geographical presence in the capital by 2017. There is evidence that the corresponding period may be adjusted - the company will complete the tasks faster, in 2015. MGTS expects that the campaign related to the transfer of Internet access infrastructure to GPON technology will pay for itself within 7 years.
GPON technology (reviews from many IT experts are very positive in this aspect) can become an effective basis for the deployment of other communication standards. Such as, for example, 4G Internet in the LTE standard. Both technological and economic aspects can play a role here. There is evidence that the GPON infrastructure from MGTS (reviews from many market analysts confirm this) is going to be used by MTS, which is actively implementing 4G standards. In statements by representatives of this brand, voiced in some media, there is a thesis that MTS will become the only metropolitan operator that will build a 4G network entirely based on fiber optic channels.
Is GPON more promising?
According to some analysts, companies that use GPON technology - Rostelecom, MGTS and other providers - have at their disposal a resource that still has somewhat greater development potential than when using most competing communication standards. This is largely due to the fact that the level of competition in the GPON segment is still slightly lower than, for example, among providers using the FTTB concept.
GPON in the global market
As an Internet access technology, GPON (reviews from many experts confirm this) is somewhat less widespread in Russia than, for example, in Western countries. Although in recent years, providers operating in the Russian Federation, as many analysts believe, have made several serious steps forward, overcoming the possible lag behind their foreign colleagues in mastering new technology. At the same time, it can be noted that standards such as DSL are still among the most actively used in the world. At the same time, the global growth of GPON connections in the last few years has been about 20% annually.
Many experts are sure that even in the most technologically developed countries there is no consensus on which broadband access technology is the most effective. In many countries in Asia and the Middle East, GPON technology is being implemented very actively - in a number of countries it occupies more than half of the market in the corresponding communications segment. In Europe, Sweden is recognized as one of the leaders in the implementation of GPON standards. At the same time, according to a number of analysts, the Russian market is quite capable of achieving comparable indicators reflecting the level of implementation of new technology.

How does GPON work?
Providing Internet access using GPON technology involves replacing outdated copper cables with more advanced fiber optic cables with significantly greater bandwidth. The signal travels through such a cable through a light rather than an electrical impulse. The light pulse travels along the glass fiber, providing a more reliable signal and high speed with low energy consumption.
GPON technology involves laying a fiber-optic cable directly to the subscriber’s apartment, and not to the entire building, which guarantees constant Internet access speed and eliminates operational failures due to network overload. To connect to GPON technology, a modem is installed free of charge for the subscriber - ONT (Optical Network Terminal), thanks to which all services are subsequently connected remotely and in one device. The modem has built-in Wi-Fi, which allows you to work wirelessly from any device.
Development prospects
Today we can confidently say that GPON technology not only keeps up with the times, but is also in many ways ahead of it, expanding the boundaries of what is possible. The new speed standard will allow us to constantly expand the package of services provided. Video surveillance, telemetry, security alarms and other services using GPON technology become available to subscribers. Technology resources allow us to talk about the prospects for the development and implementation of many other services for a better quality of life.
GPON in Russia and in the world
GPON is rapidly developing in the USA, Japan, Korea, UAE and a number of European countries as the most promising access technology.
Russia still lags behind in terms of percentage coverage, but the dynamics of development correspond to global trends. In large Russian cities, such as Chelyabinsk, Miass and others, the number of subscribers amounts to tens of thousands, and in St. Petersburg - hundreds of thousands of people.
