A massive transition is underway globally from hybrid fiber-copper networks to complete fiber networks as copper starts reaching its limitations. While copper networks have serviced connectivity needs for decades, these are simply not equipped for the bandwidth demands of the digital era. Constant upgrade and maintenance of aging copper infrastructure is also becoming a significant expense. Fiber offers clear advantages over copper - it is faster, more reliable, secure, future-proof and has nearly limitless bandwidth capacity. Fiber cabling takes up less space, produces no electromagnetic interference and does not corrode over time. Pushing fiber all the way to endpoints through passive optical LAN eliminates active electronics in the infrastructure. This results in a future-proof, scalable and easy to manage network. Many organizations are proactively transitioning to end-to-end fiber networks for long term sustainability. Governments around the world are also investing heavily in full fiber connectivity to fuel economic growth. All these factors are boosting demand for passive optical LAN solutions that deliver fiber to every desk.

For instance, in May 2021, Airfiber, an Indian-based internet service provider, initiated data services using Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON).
