Due to unforeseen circumstances we need to consider alternative vendors for our GPON system, moving away from Motorola. We wanted to throw out a line and find out what other networks have deployed and what experiences they have had positive or negative with them. Thanks in advance for any replies.
We're using Huawei for this. It's a stable system, and they do this quite well. Watch out for the EMS though; it's great for management and provisioning, but customer migration is not supported (yet). The ONU that ships from Huawei is also not terribly good as a clever CPE. So if you're thinking of doing interesting things, suggest you use their ONU as a bridge and have something else terminating the PPPoE/DHCP sessions. Otherwise, I'd certainly recommend looking at Huawei for this. We've been reasonably happy using them for our FTTH and IPTv deployment. Cheers, Mark.
