ZTE: Next-Gen AI Powered Optical Access Platform ZXA10 C600H

ZTE’s AI-powered OLT platform, ZXA10 C600H, will address China’s move to 50G PON fiber broadband services in 2026. The platform offers 1 Tbps of slot bandwidth (Upgradeable to 2 Tbps) and supports the commercial deployment of 16-port symmetric 50G PON, XGS-PON, and GPON combo cards. It also supports flexible upgrades for 200G PON applications, reducing network upgrade costs. By integrating an intelligent computing power board and AI functions into the ZXA10 C600H chassis, network computing power is shifted from BNG to optical line terminal (OLT) devices. Serving as the control center for home computing power, the OLT enables optical-layer OAM and supports AI-based services, including early fault detection and Wi-Fi optimization. The ZXA10 C600H is built on an open, decoupled microservice architecture, featuring a built-in programmable Network Processor (NP) with flexible upgradeability and separate control and forwarding planes for the OLT. It supports standard NetConf/YANG and Telemetry protocols and is interoperable with over 100 ONT models from 20 vendors.

Judge’s comment: “ZTE was one of the first vendors to market offering 50G capabilities and innovative capabilities to support operator sustainability and reliability initiatives.”
