Technetix: Remote OLT (rOLT)

The Technetix rOLT (remote optical line terminal) provides easy configuration for mixed percentage penetration of GPON, XGS-PON, or 25G-PON to provide further flexibility and optionality than combo-PON systems. The rOLT is a cost-effective option for rapidly deploying fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) high-speed broadband and multi-play services to rural locations. Where optical budget limitations can be a preventative factor in stretching connectivity from central office (CO) infrastructure to reach remote communities, rOLT reduces both time-to-market and build-to-bill cycles by traversing gaps in service caused by physical infrastructure. The Technetix rOLT is an ideal solution for all mounting scenarios, including underground pits, chambers, pole mount on the strand, discrete, mounted on poles, building facades, or MDUs (multi-dwelling units).

JUDGE’S COMMENT: “This is a great idea. It can eliminate a cabinet in some situations.”
