LTP-8X optical line terminal
Chapter 1.
Introduction
GPON is a network of passive optical networks (PON) type. It is one of the most effective state-of-the-art
solutions for the "last mile" issue that significantly reduces the required amount of cable and provides
information transfer with downstream rate up to 2.5 Gbps and upstream rate up to 1.25 Gbps. Being
used in access networks, GPON-based solutions allow end users to have access to new services based on
IP protocol in addition to more common ones.
The key GPON advantage is the use of one optical line terminal (OLT) for multiple optical network
terminals (ONT). OLT converts Gigabit Ethernet and GPON interfaces and is used to connect a PON
network with data communication networks of a higher level.
The range of OLT GPON equipment produced by Eltex comprises of LTP-8X terminal with internal
Ethernet switch with 8 GPON ports and RSSI function.
The Operation Manual describes application, key specifications, installation, configuration, monitoring,
and software retrofit for the devices.
