We have good luck with 32 customers per 2.4 Gbps down on GPON. Lotsa
overhead. No problems, not even close, so far. And we are selling more Gig
circuits than ever before.

Subject: [AFMUG] UBNT OLT Transition from Active Ethernet to GPON
Anyone tried their PON OLT CPE and OLT 8 port (128 clients per port) 1U
unit?
I see pricing around $70 retail for OLT, but haven't seen pricing yet for
the OLT 1U unit.
Also, I'm active fiber right now, so I have full 1 to 1 panels in the rack
already.
If I wanted to 'migrate' to OLT from active I would need some sort of
transition panel/setup right?
Right now my density is 48 ports per 1U 1 to 1 single family home
connections.
The UBNT Fiber OLT has 8 ports handling up to 128 clients each, with 20Gbps
uplink capability (not quite sure on those split details yet).
I currently only take a max of 576 per cabinet on active, so I could easily
use just one of these UBNT fiber OLT units.
If I don't care about the share ratio I guess, I would just get another 576
panel count that spliced 72 count to each port and I'm done.
I'm unclear what that panel/splice would look like though since I've never
actually done GPON.
And I would probably want to not load up that many per port, and instead
maybe get four of the UBNT Fiber OLT units.
That would take up 4U of rack space, the fanout would probably still take up
4U of rack space, for a total of 8 U.
And I would have instead an 18 customer to 1 port on the GPON instead of 72
which I like better for future use.
Do these UFiber OLT 1U rackmount units share just 1Gbps per each of the 8
ports? That would only be 8Gbps needed total.
So I assume the GPON spec they are using can transmit more than that per
each of the 8 GPON ports, right?
