A GPON OLT (Gigabit Passive Optical Network Optical Line Terminal) is the main device in a fiber optic network that connects to multiple customer ONTs, delivering high-speed internet, voice, and video. It’s important because it efficiently manages data traffic, ensuring reliable connectivity. Data center outages can disrupt OLT operations, so providers like HostNoc ensure stable infrastructure to minimize downtime.
