It hugely depends on the physical layout of the homes/area for economics of active-E vs GPON... The scale of the outside plant aerial fiber is very different in certain scenarios. A green field modern housing development with everything underground might be very different than a semi-rural chain shaped topology of GPON along a road of houses on 1 acre plots. Or an urban townhouse development. Or a 35 floor condo tower. On Sun, May 1, 2016 at 1:58 AM, Mark Tinka <mark.tinka@seacom.mu> wrote:

No. Active has higher initial and ongoing plant costs (cabinet power, cabinet wear and tear, more battery banks, chargers, etc). You also end up using far, far less fiber strands.
I tend to disagree, but this is one of those debates that could go on forever...
Lord knows I've been having it since 2008.
