What Is OLT?
An OLT (http://www.fs.com/c/olt-ont-units-1335) (optical line terminal), also known
as optical line termination, acts as the endpoint hardware device in a passive optical
network. The OLT contains a central processing unit (CPU), passive optical network
cards, a gateway router (GWR) and a voice gateway (VGW) uplink cards. It can
transmit a data signal to users at 1490 nanometers (nm). That signal can serve up to
128 ONTs at a range of up to 12.5 miles by using optical splitters.
The Features of OLT
The OLT sends Ethernet data to the ONU, initiates and controls the ranging process,
and records the ranging information. It provides numerous prominent features listed
as follows.
Converting the standard signals use by a FiOS service provider to the frequency
and framing used by the PON system;
Coordinating the multiplexing between the conversion devices on the optical
network terminals (OLTs) located on the customers’ premises.
As we see from the picture above, OLT is designed for controlling more than one PON
(in this example it serves for four independent networks). We can see that if every
PON has 32 connections, OLT can distribute data to 128 ONTs. OLT has specific
standard, so it would work with ONT from different manufacturers.
Conclusion
The OLT now has been widely adopted in fiber optic network access in counties,
towns and villages. It can help efficiently reduce network construction cost, while
simultaneously providing a guarantee on high bandwidth and high integration. And it
is proved to be an ideal and constructive solution to FTTx projects.
