GPON SFU with 1-port GbE LAN

As broadband wireline access technology evolves, it increases not only the number of subscriptions, but also the need for bandwidth capacity by each individual home or enterprise unit. The high-bandwidth services, such as 4K/8K HD video streaming, cloud-based data storage and more, have become a trend and significantly changed users’ behavior. In the meantime, they also triggered the strong demand for higher access speed to migrate to the Gigabit era. The Zyxel PMG1005-T20B/T20C GPON SFU with 1-port GbE LAN is a simple bridge that enables service providers to address Gigabit data access for subscribers under the P2MP structure and to realize high-quality triple-play services such as voice, data and video over fiber optics.

With the P2MP structure, service providers are able to provide various service packages to fulfill different user requirements into single deployment sites with the most cost-effective product combinations. The Zyxel PMG1005-T20B/T20C can perform as a Layer-2 Optical Network Terminal (ONT) followed by any Layer-3 devices such as routers, Wi-Fi APs, and home gateways, and more depending on individual subscriber’s preference. Since the WLAN technology and other gateway interface requirements evolves rapidly, using a two-box solution reserves space for service providers to substitute the second box with the same user interface if the users keep using the PMG1005-T20B/T20C as their GPON access terminal.
