Delivering cost-effective converged residential and business services The challenge facing 10G FTTH networks is developing a single system that meets the scale and flexibility needs of premium business and backhaul services while also delivering the price point needed for mass-market residential applications. The ADTRAN Total Access 5000 10G Combo (GPON/XGS-PON) solution uses a flexible optics approach that allows for a single 10G PON OLT module to utilize multiple types of optical transceivers, enabling service providers to support existing FTTH subscribers while also providing a path to high-bandwidth business and mobile X-Haul services. Flexible optics range from existing GPON to XGS-PON supported on a per-port basis, simplifying migration to 10G FTTH networks. Any mix of these options can be used on a single 10G PON OLT, allowing for maximum flexibility without compromising future capabilities.
Better ROI from fiber investments The ADTRAN XGS-PON system offers the ability to benefit from mass-market price points without having to wait for large volumes to be reached in the 10G PON market. This approach gives service providers confidence that they can move forward with a 10G PON strategy today.
SDN-ready solution The operational cost and complexity to connect a FTTP subscriber can be further reduced to accelerate the expansion of gigabit broadband services. The Total Access 5000 10G ComboOLT supports provisioning via the ADTRAN Mosaic Cloud Platform, and OMCI provisioning, bridging the gap between current PON and next-generation SD-Access networks. This, in concert with accelerated mass-market electronics and optics pricing, ensures that cost-sensitive residential broadband will be viable using XGSPON technology.
Upgrading FTTP networks to 10G capable networks provides network operators the performance to extend the life of their Optical Distribution Network (ODN) while providing an architecture that supports cost-effective business and backhaul services delivery at greater than gigabit speeds.
