Calix is producing an Active Ethernet ONT combined with residential gateway router. I believe it also supports TR-069 for remote management.
I'll check it out. Thanks. I assume that's TR-TSY-069, a Telcordia standard?
One other thing I noticed, most seem to assume a pair of fibers per device. Assuming 1G connection, you can easily use bi-directional optics such as we use for Active Ethernet and use a single fiber.
Yeah, but the incremental cost of 3-pr drop fiber is likely only to be maybe 10-15% of the build, and reducing the flexibility is gonna need a big trade-off for me to buy it; remember, my goal is to allow any prem to go Layer 1 to wherem ever they want to; they may want both. (L1 to my other locations, in a ring, and L2 up to a provider from my hub) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
