No random issues like other vendors we've tried. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather use calix or one of the big names, but I can't make the numbers work for the small wireless fed residential builds we keep doing. No they don't have a path to NG-PON2 that I'm aware of. I'm not worried about that right now though since we are wirelessly feeding all of the neighborhoods.

This will be the third winter. We're just using cheap chinese bidi optics. Some from fiberstore. Customer sides are mostly MikroTik 2011 or rb260gs. Had some minor issues early on but they were fixed in later l firmware. I can't remember the last time I had to touch them. They've been solid. We've moved to gpon for any new builds or I'd probably still be installing them. Gerard On Friday, January 15, 2016, George Skorup < [email protected] > wrote: <blockquote> Derp, I forgot. What do you have on the other end of the ports? Routerboards with bidi SFPs? We're not sure what we're going to do on the CPE end yet. It's a multi party venture and those guys haven't made up their minds yet, other than each premise will have a pair and they want active ethernet. I mentioned GPON and was told no. So then I said why not do bidi and basically heard crickets. So whatever, I'm just in charge of designing the core network inside their box of requirements.

I was planing on ordering some cheap single mode modules from Fiber Store to use with this and get the project rolling.
