Overview
Passive Optical LAN (POL) is a revolutionary carrier-grade technology that redefines how services are delivered to the desktop in an enterprise environment. The inherent benefits of the Passive Optical LAN make it an incredible delivery mechanism for the triple play of services—voice, data, and video—in a multi-dwelling unit or large venue setting.
Product Lines
Zhone's MXK chassis-based OLT is unique in the industry with its ability to provide simultaneous support for both Passive Optical LAN and Active Ethernet fiber technologies to the node, curb or premises. Service providers can offer digital or RF video, high-bandwidth Internet access, VoIP and cell relay services from a single OLT over IP.
Tellabs Passive Optical LAN, based on gigabit passive optical networking (GPON) technology, saves you up to 70% of CapEx, 80% of power requirements and 90% of space requirements. Tellabs' highly reliable and secure network delivers data, voice, and video services on one platform. And it's a green alternative to the traditional Ethernet LAN.

Based on ITU-T G.984 standards, Zhone's MXK delivers the next generation of high-performance business and residential FTTx services. Zhone has two distinct form factors for the MXK product line. Zhone's MXK chassis-based OLT is unique in the industry with its ability to provide simultaneous support for both PON and Active Ethernet fiber technologies to the node, curb or premises. Service providers can offer digital or RF video, high-bandwidth Internet access, VoIP and cell relay services from a single OLT over IP.
Zhone Optical Line Terminals
The MXK-F™ chassis architecture is designed around a dual star design with redundant ultra high-speed links to each subscriber line card slot for future-proof support of today's and tomorrow's bandwidth-hungry fiber-based subscriber services. Also MXK-F™ management control and aggregation switch fabric functions reside on two separate cards, each of which can be equipped in a redundant configuration; MCs (Management Cards) and FC (Fabric Cards). Lastly, a fully-distributed database and parallel firmware loading enable simple fast upgrades.
The Zhone MXK-190 provides next generation 1U GPON OLT features in a compact, hardened form-factor that makes it easy and cost-effective to deliver uncompromising triple play services throughout the serving area. Models are available with 4 or 8 GPON Ports. The ITU-T standard GPON technology provides 2.5Gbps downstream and 1.25 Gbps upstream bandwidth over a passive optical network on each of the 4 or 8 ports per unit.
Zhone Optical Network Terminals
Zhone’s indoor GPON ONT family has many options for deployment of FTTx services. Models range from a single Ethernet port, eight Ethernet ports, and even a model with 24 voice ports and 24 Ethernet ports allowing the service provider to chose the right model for the job. The indoor GPON portfolio also includes models with T1/E1 interface for transport over a packet network.
Based on a wire-speed router architecture, Zhone’s outdoor GPON ONTs deliver best-in-class data throughput regardless of packet size to support the most demanding FTTx applications. All new models provide dual 1Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, two or four voice ports with support for SIP, SIP-PLAR and MGCP Voice over IP protocols. This gives service providers an elegant migration path from legacy to softswitch architectures without replacing ONTs. GPON models are available with and without support for downstream RF Video or RfoG.
