FTTH and DSLAM Access Vendors
I am looking for comparisons between the following FTTH GPON and VDSL2 access platforms. Has anyone recently compared the capabilities of each of these platforms? Alcatel-Lucent 7360 ISAM Adtran Total Access 5000 Calix E7 Cisco ME4600 Huawei MA5600T Zhone MXK They all look great on paper, but there has to be some key differences other than price. Besides the vendors listed above, is there anyone else in this market?
I would definitely find any information on this quite useful. I've had clients try to make this very comparison in the past, and it can become quite tedious when dealing with sales staff from 6 different companies who want to sell you something, while not explaining further as to why their platform is better than 'xyz' On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 10:49 PM, Colton Conor <colton.conor@gmail.com> wrote:

I don¹t know that getting a comparison of all these vendors will do anything for you as each one will have something that tops each other. What I¹ve always done is put my list together of features that I need to run my business and see where each one of the vendors sits after that. You can typically weed out a good % by that first set of questions. We also will give some points to vendors we already deal with and staff is already familiar with using, as training can be a big % of cost.
