For very small scale I would recommend going GEPON, we have been using a Planet 2 port OLT cost $2000~, ONUs are about $50

We went Alphion. Our OLT and port costs were very low. This help us have less oversub on ports. The plan was to design for a 32x1 but deploy a 16x1, with the intent to to make it a 16x2 and overlay NG-PON2 in the future.

Common at the time of their initial deployment was 64x1. The company I just got off the ground did 16x1.

Low oversub GPON is plenty good for now and probably well into the future. I believe that is what Google did, maybe 8:1 max split? The temptation with GPON is to stretch it to the limits, which might cause some re-splicing down the road if you want super high FDX. AE doesn’t have that problem even with equipment a decade old I can still supply the same SFP+ switch with 180Gbps each if I want to carry that much on the backhaul. Equipment is super cheap, and it’s essentially backwards compatible with GPON if your neighborhood runs are short like mine. But again, lots of power is required.

All the splitters etc still work. That will give everyone on the PON 312.5 Mbps symmetrical all at the same time. So oversubscribing 3:1 you could sell 1G symmetrical to everyone and probably not run out of headroom.

Everyone is using cell phones and watching Netflix. The AE deployment is a total waste of equipment and resources for the utilization we're seeing. I have to go there next week and turn up another switch. The 1Gbps feed is averaging less than 100Mbps every night. The network owner was convinced that everyone had to have 1G FDX. They just don't realize how much electronics and power is required for 1k ports. There's less than 100 customers so far, so please, for the love of god, lets fix this now! We'll see what happens. Anyway.. this project we're looking to do on our own is a neighborhood of rich bitches. We already have PMP450 there and it works fine. They "want more speed" and if they're willing to put up some cash for it, then we'll build it. On 3/4/2017 9:55 PM, Josh Reynolds wrote: Alphion does, yes.

I remember Chuck Hogg mentioned Alphion. Has anyone deployed the AOLT-4200? Looks like a good solution. Or what else have you used for small deployments?
