GPON is better than EPON in bandwidth , encapsulation efficiency, multi-service support, splitting rate and OAM GPON is more suitable in telecom networks which care about operation and maintenance, interoperation, security and so on.

EPON
EPON is introduced by IEEE based on modified MAC and RS sub-layer Ethernet technology, EPON technology is quite simple and similar with standard LAN switch in service carrying structure and suitable for pure data transmission. The ranging , time recovery and synchronization requirement of EPON is lower , so the optical module and CDR device is cheaper , but which also cause higher overhead redundancy required. EPON adopts 8B/10B coding which cause 20% efficiency loss in physical layer, while GPON uses NRZ coding without loss

GPON standard defined by operators with more complete consideration in telecom service . EPON standard is defined by some of the equipment providers. The standard focuses on physical specification and needs subsequent definition by other equipment providers, with cause difficulties in interoperation.

ONT
10000 Subs Assumption: Comparison between EPON and GPON CO equipment and ONT only , ODN is supposed equalized in cost although splitting ratio might be different. Cost of EPON and GPON Equipment and ONT EPON OLT=GPON OLT=1800 US EPON ONT=GPON ONT=100 US Note: GPON OLT and ONT price surely are higher than EPON , but so far there is no commercialized reference price, so here it is just supposed they are equal and lets see what will happen

GPON vs EPON in OLT Price The following figure shows the cost difference of EPON and GPON , figure 1 is for total cost of network equipment, figure 2 is for cost per subscriber
GPON cost advantages are from the reduction of OLT Qty, because GPON has higher DS bandwidth , splitting rate and bandwidth efficiency
Page 10
GPON vs EPON in ONT Price Sensitivity Indicated by following table the comparison of EPON and GPON implementation, GPON can obtain Qty advantage by 1:2.6, which also means 1.2 million US saving.
BW/Subscriber (Mbps) EPON OLT Qty GPON OLT Qty Qty comparison Ratio (1: ) 10 313 157 2.0 20 313 157 2.0 30 334 157 2.1 40 455 176 2.6 50 556 218 2.6 60 667 264 2.5 70 834 313 2.7 80 910 358 2.5 90 1000 400 2.5 100 1112 435 2.6
Considering the GPON OLT saving, the GPON ONT cost sensitivity could be calculated , then applied to the ONTs in the networks. For example , in case 100 Mbps per subscriber , 1.2 million US saving could be distributed into 10000 ONTs , then to equalize the cost difference of EPON ONT and GPON ONT.

According previous calculation , It could be obtained how much can GPON equipment price higher than EPON. The following figures shows the GPON price sensitivity (mark up part) compared with EPON:
It is indicated in the same network situation , GPON ONT can bear 120 US higher per subscriber (could reach to 220 US, or 120% higher) GPON OLT can bear 4500 US higher than EPON per site

Summary
EPON equipment unit price is low due to its easy way technology realization and lower requirement of optical device. But from previous analysis , it is clearly indicated GPON possess of very cost effective in a concept of whole network , especially in large scale and high bandwidth per subscriber FTTH network, which owe to GPONs higher splitting rate, max bandwidth and efficient bandwidth , those advantages lead to half reduction of OLT qty. Less OLT means less site space and power consumption , besides the equipment life circle cost could also be reduced.
