Zhone PON Splitters & WDM Combiners
Demands on access networks are increasing at an accelerating rate,
requiring a clean-sheet approach to a truly scalable multi-service
architecture. Zhone’s MXK intelligent terabit access concentrator reflects
this new approach, featuring an initial 400 Gbps pure packet switching
capacity and 2x10 Gbps redundant links to every slot. Beyond sheer
bandwidth, MXK platforms leverage Zhone’s well-proven SLMS access
operating system for sophisticated service intelligence, to guarantee high
quality of experience for subscribers, along with ease of management to
address rising costs of network operation.
In a PON (Passive Optical Network), each end user has an ONT (Optical
Network Terminal) while the fiber terminates at a central office or remote
cabinet in an OLT (Optical Line Terminal). Between the OLT and the
ONT may be one or two stages of passive splitters, which split the
connection to multiple end points (up to 64), and WDM combiners, when
RF overlay services are also being offered.
Zhone’s complete end-to-end GPON solutions with MXK-OLT, optical
Splitters/WDM packages and zNID-ONT is the most complete FTTH
platform delivering converged broadband services in the industry.
