GPON 1 PORT

Description of an OLT GPON 1-Port:

**1. Functionality:

• Central Control Point: The OLT acts as the central management system in a GPON network, interfacing with Optical Network Units (ONUs) or Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) at the customer end.
• Traffic Management: It is responsible for the upstream and downstream traffic management, ensuring efficient data flow and network performance.

**2. Technical Specifications:

• Port Type: The OLT GPON 1-port model typically features a single GPON port, designed to connect to an Optical Distribution Network (ODN) through a single fiber link.
• Data Rate: It supports high-speed data transmission with a downstream rate of up to 2.488 Gbps and an upstream rate of up to 1.244 Gbps.
• Wavelengths: Operates at standard GPON wavelengths, typically 1490 nm for downstream and 1310 nm for upstream communication.
• Interface: The port is equipped with an SC/APC or LC/APC connector for reliable fiber optic connectivity.

**3. Capacity:

• Subscriber Handling: A single GPON port can connect to multiple ONUs/ONTs (usually up to 128), providing a shared bandwidth to all connected subscribers.
• Scalability: The OLT’s capacity can be expanded by adding more GPON ports or by deploying additional OLT units as needed.

**4. Physical Characteristics:

• Form Factor: The 1-port OLT model is typically housed in a 1U or 2U rack-mounted chassis, designed for integration into standard telecom equipment racks.
• Cooling and Power: Equipped with cooling fans and redundant power supplies to ensure reliability and minimize downtime.

**5. Management and Configuration:

• Network Management: The OLT includes management interfaces for network monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting, often accessible via SNMP, web-based GUI, or CLI.
• Firmware and Software: Regular updates to the OLT's firmware and software are provided to enhance performance, security, and feature set.

**6. Applications:

• Residential and Business Services: Suitable for delivering high-speed internet, VoIP, and IPTV services to residential and small business customers.
• Network Scalability: Ideal for small to medium-sized GPON deployments where a single port suffices, with options for expansion as demand grows.
