Ciena’s 3806 XGS-PON Optical Network Unit (ONU) is weatherproof and purpose-built for residential and small office/ home office (SOHO) applications, with low-cost access in mind. The ruggedized, residential broadband, service-delivery ONU is lightning fast, secure, and capable of meeting or exceeding both immediate and future business needs, enabled by flexible, open deployment within 10G passive optical network (PON) and Ciena’s universal aggregation routing and switching platforms.
The 3806 XGS-PON ONU is an outdoor unit and fully compliant with ITU-T G.9807.1 (XGS-PON) and supports symmetrical 10 Gb/s downstream and upstream connectivity. This weatherproof ONU comes with built-in XGSPON optics and media access control (MAC), an Ethernet switch, and one 10/100/1000/2500M RJ-45 port. With a focus on low total cost of ownership (TCO), the shared fiber outside ONU reduces edge transport, switching and routing costs, footprint, and power consumption by rightsizing with highdensity optical line terminal (OLT) platforms.
Higher-bandwidth service delivery for SOHO
SOHOs will continue to play a major role in most economies and contribute significantly to job creation and global economic development. At the same time, most network operators’ environments are very challenging, as they experience surging IP traffic growth in the fixed-access, hypercompetitive environment. Key to customer retention and continued growth is offering new, higher bandwidth services. For the past 15 years, PONs have become extremely popular by cost-effectively addressing ongoing surges in IP television (IPTV) and high-speed internet access. However, bandwidth demands and intense competition are driving network operators to 10G PON, as 15-year-old asymmetrical Ethernet PON (EPON) and Gigabit PON (GPON) technologies can no longer address network growth that is expected to increase by a factor of 10 in the next decade.
