So how much are you guys paying for this ZTE stuff?
I just got a quote from Alphion and it's really not bad. I signed an
NDA, so I can't tell....but the single port CPE is very close to an
RB260 + SFP.

Thanks Gerard! What kind of management interface does the rectifier
has?
btw: you guys have any bitcoin left and sold recently?

1xC320 Chassis
1xSMXA/3 10G main control board (SMXA/1 for 1G uplinks only)
1xPRAM AC Power Supply/battery charger board
1xGTGH 16port OLT board
16xC++ OLT SFP Modules
1xFan tray
+Power Cords
This leaves a free slot which you can install a 16 port GPON or EPON
board or a 24 port SFP board for 48 AE customers using CSFP modules.
If you already have +/- 48volt available, you can get a second SMXA
instead of the PRAM and have redundant control boards and more uplink
capacity.
Did anyone else get an email from a ZTE sales rep after posting on this
thread?

Custom scripts that use the cli and snmp. For our latest build we are
trying Ikarus. (Ikarus has the functionality, but I hate the web

Nothing I have requires any additional fees. I'm not using their

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

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.

considerably more than that. I did look at some DWDM stuff

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

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. 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 technologies being

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.

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?
