The original request was for a product, not a Frankenstein solution.
Hacking something together is just a natural outgrowth of any
conversation here.
.....and yeah it's harder to incorporate weird stuff into a business
process. If you have to do something weird it's better that it's weird
on the backend for engineering staff than have it weird on the front end
for customer support.

Sure, but the alternative being discussed here is running some kind of
duct taped together GPON/RF Frankenstein (assuming something like that
was even technically possible, which it isn't). Arguing that a shelf
is too expensive and an Active Ethernet deployment is too much of a
headache makes no sense in this context.

You'd have to provision 18 customers differently than the other 1000
which is just a headache. A one time purchase of a shelf and
GPON4/GPON8 is better in the long run.

If cost is an issue, why not just put an Ethernet switch on the
far side of the RF link? It's just 18 homes so any 24 port SFP
switch would do.

Because a GPON4 or GPON8 card is a chunk of change.

Why go to that trouble, and not just packetize it over an RF
link? Do a new GPON segment at the far end, or am I not
understanding something?

I am sure this has been discussed before but not finding it.
I need to extend service to a small cluster of new homes
being built. About 18 homes.
Too far to get there with fiber right now. Maybe in a few
years.
So I want to extend my system up to them. Will take a
repeater. So need to probably haul a gig up there on
point to point.
I would prefer to be able to serve these customers with
Calix GPON. I could put an E2 system up there and feed it
with ethernet. But it seems someone has come up with a
way to extend an actual OLT/OIM type of signal via RF and
put it back on the fiber such that the ONU thinks it is
talking back to my E7-20 shelf at my C.O.
Does any of this sound familiar?
