Re: VM/O2's plans to move from RFoG to xPON

RFoG - Radio Frequency over Glass. The optical fibre is used in the same way as Coax, which is not really the optimal use of the fibre but it means that the architecture is wholly compatible with VM's HFC platform.

The architectures of both RFoG and xPON (Passive Optical network) are both the same, they are passive. The only difference is what is on the ends.

If, and by if I mean when, VM were to retire their HFC network, the full fibre network they are building will be able to carry PON.
