Yeah, so PON vs AE was actually the next research project for me to
tackle.
It seems like there ought to be savings with PON because of lower fiber
count.....lower fiber count ought to lead to smaller/cheaper enclosures.
Less junk at the head end too. I haven't gotten that far yet, but I
was thinking I might "scrimp" with PON. You're saying maybe not?

I would be worried that it will go the way of some of their other
ideas.
Cheap... you get what you pay for.
FTTH, I would rather pay more and know it will be solid and be around
in the years to come.
Not an area where you want to scrimp. If you want to scrimp go active
ethernet.

Well....I have to build with what's available today. If I delay to
wait
for the next hot product, I'll always be waiting.
Besides, I honestly don't know what Ubiquiti brings to the table that
other vendors don't. I suppose it will be cost competitive, but that's
less important to me than having it just work.

With ubiquiti shipping real soon, you might want to wait

I asked the Alphion sales rep about this. He says the optics are
coded, yes. As far as mixing ONT from one vendor with an OLT from
another he said in essence GPON is a standard, but it isn't usually
tested across vendors so whether it works fine, works with bugs, or
doesn't work at all is going to be a matter of chance.

No, generally speaking there is no crossvendor compatibility with
GPON.
