GPON provisioning is not standardised. Operators do it in their own proprietary way so Openreach don’t mix and match vendors across the PON. To do so complicates provisioning and loses them a bunch of visibility, management and telemetry. It's a 15cm x 13cm external junction box that we install on the outside of your property which connects the property to the Openreach fibre network. If you're a fibre customer you might have an Openreach modem (or ONT) installed. This white box connects to a fibre optic cable, which runs directly to your house and allows you to access our fibre network for broadband and voice. Installations of Openreach’s ( BT) Fibre-to-the-Premises ( FTTP) based UK ultrafast broadband ISP technology will soon begin seeing a new Optical Network Unit (ONT), which is not only very compact (pictured top) but also comes in at a third of the cost of the existing unit. Obviously they’ve sacrificed a few little things. Ethernet connection is normal between Openreach fibre modem and hub (Port 1 is where engineer will install). What to do

I can’t off the top of my head think of any cases where businesses are expected to put an operator-provided SFP into their equipment. Wires-only or managed router/firewall in my experience. This is used to provide your voice and broadband service. It's also known as an Optical Network Termination box or ONT. This is a really good move actually. Kudos to Openreach. I’ve been waiting for street-side OLTs for a while.
Except why stop at 40km with ER SFP+’s? It would be trivial to switch to ZR SFP+’s and go 138km. It’s not like Huawei don’t do ZR 10Gb SFP+’s. We'll then agree with you how best to set up your new service and where to put the BT Smart Hub to get the best wi-fi performance and speed. This may include running new cables, or disconnecting old extension wiring and powerline adapters.

That would seem quite impractical under a variety of failure scenarios. New fibre splicing every time an ONT fails isn’t a great way to run a mass-market business. I’m planning to switch to FTTP in early December, but I’m not sure there’s room on my wall for the big unit. What’s the chance the engineer will turn up with the small one? Just a heads up, we'll need to drill a hole through the wall to enable us to connect the two boxes. If you're renting the property please make sure you get your landlord's permission for us to drill a hole. This will be 12mm wide and you can tell the engineer where you'd like them to drill.Once everything is set up, we’ll demonstrate that your Fibre service is working and run a speed test. With that in mind this is the new Huawei ONT. The new Nokia one is for Nokia ONTs. The same ECI kit for the awful ECI OLT configuration. I’d recommend getting BT to send an Openreach Engineer out to replace it as they can get the correct ones direct from their Supply Chain. This ignoring the standardisation, scalability, etc, of such a solution. Openreach have to produce essentially the same products everywhere. Providing point to point Ethernet over CWDM for a small group of customers isn’t really an option, asinine as that is. Provisioning changes, parts and engineer training become an ‘issue’, the cost of the hardware on both ends as mentioned above becomes an ‘issue’. If you are a fibre customer, it’s likely you’ll have an Openreach modem (or ONT) installed. This white box connects to a fibre-optic cable that runs to your house and enables you to access our FTTP fibre network for broadband and voice.

You must always plug your Smart Hub into the Openreach modem port PORT 1. If you're connected to PORT 1 but have no internet connection, try plugging the Ethernet cable (red ends) into the next one along. After a few minutes a blue light will show your hub is ready. This whole thing is, as I’ve said, much more akin to cable / HFC network layout than point to point fibre and has to be considered in that way. The only reason cable operators in the USA allow customers to connect their own equipment is because they’re legally obliged and they hate doing it. One aspect of the installation is a wall mounted modem (known as an ONT – Optical Network Terminal), which goes between the fibre connection outside and your router. No matter which ISP you’re with, OpenReach will have installed this for you and it will be one of their branded boxes. As far as the other part goes I can’t say I’ve ever seen a PON solution where the customers / building owner provide their own pig tails between units and a fibre tray. I’ve seen point to point where this is the case and there’re an ODF in a basement with wires-only or managed router provision at the end but not where it’s PON to an SFP. One other related FTTP change that might be worth noting relates to remote nodes. The maximum reach of an FTTP splitter (a bit of kit that divides up optical fibres from an exchange to properties) is 58 kilometres. So customers living further away than this from an exchange in remote or rural areas can’t get ultrafast speeds.Think you’re big on value for money. Openreach are being paid to deliver FTTP/C not to build new exchanges when not necessary. They’re trying, rightly, to retire exchanges not build more. Carl-T bear with me so I understand. Do this unit mean we are extending a wholesale product out to this box where it was once expected all FTTP was served from the POP? This included exploitation of C+ for up to 80-100Km runs in rural. Congratulations! If you’re reading this then I’m guessing you’ve upgraded to Full Fibre, or FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) as it’s also known. With vastly superior speeds over traditional fibre broadband, it’s slowly rolling out across the UK.
Great Deal
