This is the ITU-T's next-generation standard following on from GPON or gigabit-capable PON. Optical fibre is shared by many subscribers in a network known as FTTx in a way that centralises most of the telecommunications equipment, often displacing copper phone lines that connect premises to the phone exchange. Passive optical network (PON) architecture has become a cost-effective way to meet performance demands in access networks, and sometimes also in large optical local networks for ''fibre-to-the-desk''.<ref>{{Cite web|last=ITU|date=2018-12-22|title=ITU brings new clarity to 5G transport|url=https://news.itu.int/5g-transport-new-clarity/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210405115206/https://news.itu.int/5g-transport-new-clarity/|archive-date=2021-04-05|access-date=2021-04-05|website=ITU News|language=english}}</ref>
Passive optical networks are used for the ''fibre-to-the-home'' or ''fibre-to-the-premises'' last mile with splitters that connect each central transmitter to many subscribers. The 10 Gbit/s shared capacity is the downstream speed broadcast to all users connected to the same PON, and the 2.5 Gbit/s upstream speed uses multiplexing techniques to prevent data frames from interfering with each other. Each user has a network device that converts between the optical signals and the signals used in building wiring, such as Ethernet and wired analogue plain old telephone service. XGS-PON is a related technology that can deliver upstream and downstream (symmetrical) speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s (gigabits per second), first approved in 2016 as G.9807.1.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nokia.com/blog/xg-pon-or-xgs-pon-dont-make-costly-spelling-mistake/|title=XG-PON or XGS-PON: don't make a costly spelling mistake|website=www.nokia.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230907074628/https://www.nokia.com/blog/xg-pon-or-xgs-pon-dont-make-costly-spelling-mistake/|archive-date=2023-09-07|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-G.9807.1 | title=G.9807.1 : 10-Gigabit-capable symmetric passive optical network (XGS-PON) }}</ref> XGS-PON uses time division multiplexing (TDM) and time division multiple access (TDMA).<ref>{{cite web | url=https://broadbandlibrary.com/10-gbps-symmetrical-with-xgs-pon/ | title=10 GBPS Symmetrical with XGS-PON | | date=25 May 2019 }}</ref>

Asymmetric 10G-PON is specified as XG-PON1: 10 Gbit/s downstream and 2.5 Gbit/s upstream (nominal line rate of 9.95328 Gbit/s downstream and 2.48832 Gbit/s upstream).
Symmetric 10G-PON is also proposed as XG-PON2 with 10 Gbit/s upstream, but would require more expensive burst-mode lasers on optical network terminals (ONTs) to deliver the upstream transmission speed. Another symmetric 10G-PON standard is XGS-PON (ITU-T G.9807.1, approved 2016-06-22).

===G.987=== ITU-T Recommendation G.987 is a family that defines this access network standard (referred to as XG-PON). It comprises four recommendations: * '''[http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-G.987/en G.987]''': 10-Gigabit-capable passive optical network (XG-PON) systems: Definitions, Abbreviations, and Acronyms, 2010. * '''[http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-G.987.1/en G.987.1]''': General requirements of 10G-PON systems ''(approved 2010-01-13)''. Includes examples of services, user network interfaces (UNIs) and service node interfaces (SNIs), as well as the principal deployment configurations that are requested by network operators. * '''[http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-G.987.2/en G.987.2]''': Physical media dependent (PMD) layer specification ''(approved 2010-01-13, updated 2010-10-07)''. Describes a flexible optical fibre access network representing an evolutionary development from G.984.2, asymmetric only in the current version. * '''[http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-G.987.3/en G.987.3]''': Transmission convergence (TC) specifications ''(approved 2010-10-07)''.
===G.988=== There is also a companion ITU-T standard defining a management and control interface for administering optical network units, referred to by the G.987 recommendations. * '''[http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-G.988/en G.988]''': ONU management and control interface (OMCI) specification ''(approved 2010-10-07)''.
==ONU equipment== The optical network unit (ONU) supplies network services from the PON to customer premises, connecting customer-premises equipment such as a home gateway or office firewall. An optical network terminal (ONT) is an ONU that functions as a demarcation point servicing a single subscriber; e.g., a dwelling or office. ONU devices supply Ethernet and possibly other services to the users, either directly (by bridging) or through a gateway device such as a residential gateway, firewall, and/or router, POTS, CATV signals to buildings wired for RF video, and some may even be compatible with the emerging G.hn home networking standard.
The ONU receives the downstream data from the Internet or private networks, and also uses time slots allocated by the OLT to send the upstream traffic in burst-mode. TDMA time slots prevent collisions with upstream traffic from other users sharing the same physical PON.
Fibre-to-the-cell site is another emerging application, but has extra synchronisation requirements. A specialised cellular backhaul unit (CBU) can provide PON access for cellular networks.
==OLT and access nodes== The OLT (optical line terminal) connects the PON to aggregated backhaul uplinks, allocates time slots for ONUs and ONTs to transmit upstream data, and transmits shared downstream data in broadcast-mode over the PON to users. Since 10GPON is designed to coexist with GPON devices, migration to a 10GPON capability could be done by upgrading the OLT and then migrating individual ONUs as needed.
Normally the OLT is on a card that slots into an OLT chassis at the central office (CO), which uses special uplink cards for Ethernet backhaul to the telecommunications provider's network and internet. Uplink cards on access equipment will likely use multiple Ethernet interfaces, although it remains to be seen what uplink speeds manufacturers will offer to support 10GPON access. Locating OLTs in outside plant cabinets may be an option for reach extension as a way to minimise the number of central offices covering low population density areas.
ITU and IEEE are planning for convergence of their specifications at the physical layer in 10G that would allow for the shared chips, optics and hardware platforms, thus driving cost reductions for hardware manufacturers.<ref>{{cite web |title=10G EPON- Unleashing the Bandwidth Potential |url=https://www.telecomasia.net/pdf/ZTE/ZTE_101909.pdf |website=Telecom Asia |publisher=ZTE Corporation |access-date=2022-05-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829150209/https://www.telecomasia.net/pdf/ZTE/ZTE_101909.pdf |archive-date=2017-08-29 |date=2009-08-04 |url-status=live}}</ref>
==Optical distribution network== PON optical distribution networks use single-mode optical fibre in the outside plant, optical splitters and optical distribution frames, duplexed so that both upstream and downstream share the same fibre on separate wavelengths. 10G-PON is no exception with reach similar to previous standards but supporting a higher split ratio of 128 users per PON, or more using reach extenders/amplifiers. Optical splitters creating a point to multipoint topology are also the same technology as those used by other PON systems. This means any PON network should be upgradable by changing the ONT and OLT terminals at each end, with no change to the fibre itself unless different connectors are chosen.
"An Optical Distribution Network (ODN) being installed today will likely need to support four or more generations of PON over its expected 30–40 year life... The fibre should enable maximum flexibility to support any potential new PON technology, be protected with proven, reliable cabling making it easy to install and reliable, and be joined by advanced, low labor and low loss connectivity. The cost of the ODN materials (fibre, cable, and connectivity) at only about 8% comprises a surprisingly small portion of the total network cost."<ref name=johngeorge-july2010 />
In an effort to extend the reach with support for 128 subscribers, the standard supports a range of optical budgets from 29 dB to 31 dB. A draft update to the standard is expected to further extend this to 33 dB and 35 dB budget classifications. A PON with a 35 dB optical budget could span 25 km or more and be shared among 128 subscribers.<ref name=smithloveland>{{Cite web |url=http://www.chaffeefiberoptics.com/nwsltr/ftthprismv7n2a.pdf |title=Smith Joe, Loveland Richard, Rao Bhavani, Alcatel-Lucent.

Some ONTs can receive a broad range of optical spectrum from 1480 nm to 1580 nm, so making the 10G-PON downstream signal visible to G-PON receivers. As a result, ONTs must block the unwanted downstream signals with a wavelength blocking filter (WBF), a small passive optical device.<ref name=smithloveland />
