Good morning.
This fine is related to an issue created by former ZTE executives that set up a
shell company over a year ago and have since been punished for their actions.
The fine represents the final stage in closing this out for the US government
and ZTE.
If I can provide any assistance regarding ZTE GPON products, Access or other
solutions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
Best regards,
Parker Reed

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 stuff … considerably more
than that. I did look at some DWDM stuff from China and it was total junk in
my opinion - some people like it .. not my thing.

Check Alibaba.

Yup. My plan is to start 32:1 and knock it down to 16:1 and throw in another
OLT if needed.

Google did 32x1. Common at the time of their initial deployment was 64x1.
The company I just got off the ground did 16x1.

AE gets to be a headache with power costs and heat control in cabinets.
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.

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. Sooversubscribing 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 technologies being released this
year 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.

What kind of costs are you talking?
Does it talk to ONTs? ONTs with POTS ports?
Sterling is AE, I know his costs are pretty low.

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?
