What are you guys seeing on your cost-per-customer for GPON OLT electronics? Based on 1:16 or 1:32 split? What about the ONT cost?
For simple Ethernet aggregation of fiber, I've been looking at a cost of about $42/port for fiber aggregation (Huawei S5700-52X-LI-48CS-AC), with another $40 per bidi transceiver (1/2 of a dual bidi CSFP). Then on the ONT side I have seen ~$40 for a dumb media converter with built-in bidi to $100 for a full featured indoor ONT with 4 GigE ports and 2 POTS. I haven't priced out GPON solutions in a while, but last I checked, it ended up costing a lot more than this. Granted, I understand the OSP benefits of GPON, but just want to look at an electronics comparison.
