Calix is very widely deployed in areas I’ve dealt with … also Adtran TA5000 with PON is gaining traction with lots of customers… both have pros/cons in my opinion…

Are you scared of vendor lock-in with PON? That’s what scares me. Calix jacking up their rates without any recourse but swapping equipment on both sides.

But Why? I understand Long haul PON for FTTH, to conserve miles and miles of trunk fiber, but why in a building? Instead of having a single device (a switch) you now have active hardware all over the building to manage and maintain (And power).

We just had a new public library built here in town. The entire LAN infrastructure is built on PON using the Tellabs ONT's. http://www01.tellabs.com/products/tellabs1100ont.shtml I've briefly looked around their site, and read some case studies, but Why would you choose PON infrastructure in a single building? From what I can tell, you still have to run CAT 5 to the ONT for power, and the 4 port units (which I saw several around the library) have a wall-wort and a power switch. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the concept, other than someone make a slick presentation, and someone else got a nice payoff. I wouldn't be surprised of the Latter, every single 120v outlet in the building is a 20A duplex receptacle with USB Ports (~$30 each)
