How to install gpon products?

GPON OLT (Optical Line Terminal):

• The GPON OLT is the central equipment in the GPON network, located at the service provider’s central office.
• It is responsible for managing and controlling the entire GPON network.

GPON OLT C+ Module:

• The GPON OLT C+ module is an additional component that can be installed in the GPON OLT.
• High-quality GPON OLT modules improve performance and stability.

GPON ONT (Optical Network Terminal) / GPON ONU (Optical Network Unit) + Router:

• The GPON ONT or ONU is the customer-premises equipment (CPE) that connects the end-user to the GPON network.
• It typically includes an integrated router to provide network connectivity and services to the customer.
• The optical sensitivity of ONU is around -17~-22dbm.

Optical Splitter:

• The optical splitter is a passive optical component used in the GPON network.
• It divides the optical signal from the GPON OLT to multiple GPON ONT/ONU devices, enabling the shared use of a single fiber.
• attenuates the optical sensitivity from GPON OLT.

In summary, the GPON network is composed of the GPON OLT, GPON OLT C+ module, GPON ONT/ONU with an integrated router, and the optical splitter. These components work together to provide high-speed, efficient, and reliable fiber-optic communication services to end-users.

Note that depending on the FTTH/FTTC/FTTB/FTTR solution, different equipment will be used.
