The overall architecture for GPON, as defined by the ITU, etc., is fairly
ubquitous. eg All vendors design their systems from the ITU G.984 standards,
for example. All use TDMA, ONU > T-CONT structure, etc. The details are in
the communications and management between devices. ZTE is pretty close to the
standards and we've had pretty good success interoperating with ONTs from other
vendors with some minor IOT work.
But, it isn't the optics...it is the OMCI (G.984) and TR-247 requirements.

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.
