I've been using ZTE lately, and testing Alphion when it comes in. We have a Dasan deployment, ZTE deployment, and soon Alphion on our next one. Each one has it's own issues. The ZTE I imported direct from China, so my cost per port is super cheap. I got 32 ONT's and a OLT from ZTE and we are at <$5k. The OLT is capable of 8 PON ports per card, for a total of 1024 customers. Based on the ONT pricing as well, we could serve 1,024 customers for something like $65/sub all in with optics including the customer ONT. Can't beat that with AE and MikroTik, even with the 260GS.

GPON does all that in one nice switch ;) Actually happy for residential that we made the switch.

This time I used a super dense 4U LC fiber panel that can connect up to 576. I've got about 370 of it loaded with fiber, about a third of that will be connected here. It requires the thinner mil cable which is the only PITA about this setup really. It's using 24 port 1U fiber switches, but I'm still looking for a good Planet rep to get the 48 port 1U density. I could upgrade to those and fill out the entire 12U switch space to match the 576 panel capacity. Not going to have 100 percent take rate I'm sure, but it's nice to know I can get the density in one cabinet. </blockquote>
