Chris, Nothing I have requires any additional fees. I'm not using their management system and I don't have any support at all. Yes, from a seller we originally found on Alibaba.

Like $50 per PON Port license, $5.50 per ONT, etc. Also $2100 for some server software. Are these required? Are you buying them on AliBaba? Or does it somehow work without the licenscing/server software? Thanks Chris On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 12:54 PM, Gerard Dupont III <ger...@shelbybb.com> wrote: That's the chassis. Then add the GTGH 16 port line card or the GTGO 8 port card. We use the Huawei ETP4830-A1 power supply and a string of telco batteries or you can replace one of the SMXA supervisor/uplink cards with a PRAM and do AC directly inside the C320. There are slight differences between these parts. For example, the SMXA uplink card has different subcards. One is 10G and other is just 1G. Card SMXA subcard UCDC/3 is what you want for 10G. Same for the ETP4830-A1, one of the subcards has ethernet and the other 2 models only have RS232/RS485.

Low oversub GPON is plenty good for now and probably well into the future. I believe that is what Google did, maybe 8:1 max split? The temptation with GPON is to stretch it to the limits, which might cause some re-splicing down the road if you want super high FDX. AE doesn’t have that problem even with equipment a decade old I can still supply the same SFP+ switch with 180Gbps each if I want to carry that much on the backhaul. Equipment is super cheap, and it’s essentially backwards compatible with GPON if your neighborhood runs are short like mine. But again, lots of power is required. *From:* Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] *On Behalf Of *Chuck McCown *Sent:* Sunday, March 5, 2017 8:08 AM *To:* af@afmug.com *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] Small-scale GPON Calix has NG PON2 which does 10 Gbps per wavelength and multiple wavelengths all overlaid on GPON so nothing in the OSP has to change. All the splitters etc still work. That will give everyone on the PON 312.5 Mbps symmetrical all at the same time. So oversubscribing 3:1 you could sell 1G symmetrical to everyone and probably not run out of headroom. *From:* Carlos Alcantar *Sent:* Sunday, March 05, 2017 3:35 AM *To:* af@afmug.com *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] Small-scale GPON to add to this post with the new PON technologies being released this year giving everyone 1G FDX is going to be a non issue.

Everyone is using cell phones and watching Netflix. The AE deployment is a total waste of equipment and resources for the utilization we're seeing. I have to go there next week and turn up another switch. The 1Gbps feed is averaging less than 100Mbps every night. The network owner was convinced that everyone had to have 1G FDX. They just don't realize how much electronics and power is required for 1k ports. There's less than 100 customers so far, so please, for the love of god, lets fix this now! We'll see what happens. Anyway.. this project we're looking to do on our own is a neighborhood of rich bitches. We already have PMP450 there and it works fine. They "want more speed" and if they're willing to put up some cash for it, then we'll build it. On 3/4/2017 9:55 PM, Josh Reynolds wrote: Alphion does, yes.

I remember Chuck Hogg mentioned Alphion. Has anyone deployed the AOLT-4200? Looks like a good solution. Or what else have you used for small deployments?
