ZTE fined $900M by US Commerce Dept for selling telco gear to Iran and
North Korea. Hmmm....

Gerard,
Looking at Baltic's website they seem to sell several software
licenses for this ZTE GPON equipment. Like $50 per PON Port license,
$5.50 per ONT, etc. Also $2100 for some server software. Are these
required? Are you buying them on AliBaba? Or does it somehow work
without the licenscing/server software?
Thanks
Chris

That's the chassis. Then add the GTGH 16 port line card or the
GTGO 8 port card.
We use the Huawei ETP4830-A1 power supply and a string of telco
batteries or you can replace one of the SMXA supervisor/uplink
cards with a PRAM and do AC directly inside the C320.
There are slight differences between these parts. For example, the
SMXA uplink card has different subcards. One is 10G and other is
just 1G. Card SMXA subcard UCDC/3 is what you want for 10G. Same
for the ETP4830-A1, one of the subcards has ethernet and the other
2 models only have RS232/RS485.

Interesting …. do they work ok?
I came from Calix and Adtran world for GPON/ONT

at some DWDM stuff from China and it was total
junk in my opinion - some people like it .. not my
thing.

Low oversub GPON is plenty good for now

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.

Calix has NG PON2 which does 10 Gbps per
wavelength and multiple wavelengths all
overlaid on GPON so nothing in the OSP
has to change. 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.

to add to this post with the new PON

giving everyone 1G FDX is going to be a
non issue.

I'm not really worried about POTS and
RF. 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.

Subject: [AFMUG] Small-scale GPON
We're looking to do another
"fiberhood" with GPON instead of
AE this time around. 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?
