What Is OLT ? The Features of OLT
With increasingly advanced and matured technologies in telecommunication network, Fiber to the Home ( FTTH ) has drawn much more attention of companies specialized in telecommunication nowadays. Generally, the FTTH broadband connections consist of two types of systems, known as Active Optical Networks (AON) and Passive Optical Networks (PON). And most of FTTH deployments are inclined to use a PON due to its low cost and high performance that can help to save a certain amount of money on fiber costs. A Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) system generally contains an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service provider’s central office. As one of the indispensable components of PON, optical line terminal thus plays an essential role in the performance of the whole network connection. What Is OLT? An optical line termination (OLT), also called an optical line terminal, is a device which serves as the service provider endpoint of a passive optical network. The Features of OLT ...
