When upgrading to 10 Gbps fiber broadband, you might be curious about the type of Optical Network Terminal (ONT) that SIMBA provides for setup. Well, the answer is that SIMBA supplies the Huawei OptiStar HN8010Ts as their ONT.
A ONT is definitely the better way to manage your own network than having a ONR (which some telcos provide). With a 10 Gbps XGS-PON ONT, you can link it up to a switch or WIFI 7 router with 10 GbE WAN Port to immediately tap the speed for your network.
The Huawei OptiStar HN8010Ts is an impressive XGS-PON bridging-type ONT and has these features:
- XGS-PON Technology: The HN8010Ts leverages XGS-PON (10 Gigabit Symmetric Passive Optical Network) technology. In practical terms, this means it delivers lightning-fast broadband access, supporting both downstream and upstream speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Imagine downloading an entire HD movie in mere seconds—this ONT makes it possible!
- Adaptive Port Speeds: The HN8010Ts is smartly designed. It automatically adapts to various port speeds, including 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, and even 100 Mbps. Whether you’re streaming content, working remotely, or engaging in data-intensive tasks, it seamlessly adjusts to your needs.
- Multicast Efficiency: For avid streamers and gamers, the HN8010Ts supports IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) v2/v3 snooping and MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) v1/v2 snooping. In simpler terms, it efficiently handles multicast traffic, ensuring smooth video streaming and online gaming experiences.
- Smart Operations and Maintenance (O&M): Beyond speed, the HN8010Ts offers intelligence. It features variable-length OMCI (ONU Management and Control Interface) messages, detects rogue ONTs, and even simulates PPPoE/DHCP testing. In other words, it proactively maintains network health.
- Compact and Energy-Efficient: The HN8010Ts boasts a sleek form factor, measuring 32 mm x 105 mm x 110 mm (without pads). It weighs around 163 grams and consumes minimal power (5 W static power consumption, 6 W maximum power consumption). Plus, it operates smoothly in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C.
