The Hidden Miracle of Your ONT

That cheap plastic box running your internet is actually a miracle of modern engineering.

It’s called a GPON ONT, and building one is an absolute nightmare. Engineers have to

design a circuit board that catches invisible laser beams blinking billions of times a second

and instantly converts them into your 4K video stream. It’s not just hardware, though.

They have to write military-grade encryption so your neighbor can’t sniff your traffic and code

complex traffic rules so your gaming doesn't lag when someone else is streaming.

It takes months of torture-testing just to survive your dusty shelf, so show that little

blinking light some respect.
