I'm keeping an eye on G.fast stuff from a competing "angle" to all the PON stuff going on .. I know of a couple of large telcos who are already testing G.fast and pretty committed to using it. Will be interesting to see how this stuff rolls out.

You can also run 10G GPON and regular GPON on the same fiber as well. Sorry for the multiple messages.

GPON vs active is interesting, but I really wanted to be able to up the ante when necessary. I wasn't sure with GPON how high I could go. But with active I am doing a "true" gigabit per customer, limited only by upstream switch port density. The Dell switches have no problem doing multiple 1Gig streams and have 10Gig backplane between them on stacking and multiple 10Gig SFP+ ports for upstream. It's all data center stuff, so there is no lack of horsepower in this setup. I do have a couple of Force10 units that I use for higher density projects right now such that I can supply the Force10 with 160Gbps backbone and service 48 10Gig ports to 48 individual CSR switches at 8 1Gig ports each. Not sure GPON can do that. I also am planning on 2Gig end user plans soon.

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.

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.
