1.1 ONT and MDU general descriptions of features and
functions
The ONT and MDU are part of a family of products that provide "last mile"
broadband access solutions. The products work together to form a fiber access
network capable of delivering high quality voice, video, and data services to both
single-family and multi-dwelling residential subscribers.
The Alcatel-Lucent ONT and MDU products are edge devices that use GPON
technology to extend a fiber optic cable from a P-OLT shelf at a CO to a subscriber
residence, including single-family residences, multi-dwelling residences such as an
apartment building, and small office applications.
The ONT product family consists of the following:
•
Packet Optical Line Terminations (P-OLTs)

Element Management System (EMS), including: a simple web-based
management system and a sophisticated network management system

and provides interfaces between the network and the gigabit passive optical network
