I'm not sure I can address your questions on power requirements, as our current network topology is fiber to the desk which has very different power requirements than a standard copper network.
My initial choice would have been to go with GPON because of its additional downstream bandwidth and potential for more ONT vendors (assuming a good interop picture). However, because of lead times and deadlines, we went with EPON for this site. We selected Wave7 Optics as our vendor. Two things that drove this decision: an 8 port ONT (8 each of voice/video/data) and GPON/EPON support in the same chassis. We're supposed to go live August 1. I'll have more details then :) Good luck. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
