Precision OT, introduces end-to-end passive optical network (PON) access solution OpenPath. This product is set to redraw PON landscape, empowering multiple system operators (MSOs), service providers or any access network with an ease, flexibility and productivity in deploying and managing PON networks.
OpenPath is a turnkey solution that encompasses all critical components of a PON network, including optical line terminals (OLTs), optics, splitters, optical network units (ONUs), and advanced controller software. Initially set to support XGS-PON (10 Gigabit Symmetrical Passive Optical Networks), Precision OT’s integrated approach makes it simple for network operators to deploy their own PONs on timelines they require.
By enabling a more open PON ecosystem, OpenPath will lower lead times and remove multiple barriers to entry that many network operators face. Unlike typical, proprietary solutions, Precision OT’s system leverages a white box hardware model, which supports integration of a diverse array of ONUs and ONTs. This productively eliminates vendor-lock scenario, making it simpler for MSOs, telcos and other customers to acquire and deploy equipment they need from Precision OT. As well, OpenPath’s user-friendly management system software interface enables company’s customers to bring all components of Precision OT’s turnkey system together, ensuring optimal performance and interoperability with any existing infrastructure and software systems they may have.
As end-user demand for bandwidth continues to grow, Precision OT’s solution suite is poised to help create and extend last-mile fibre networks. According to fortune business insights, the global PON market will grow from $13.76 billion (€12.93 billion) in 2023 to $35.59 billion (€33.44 billion) in 2030. With OpenPath, the company is well-positioned to play a crucial role in speeding PON deployments with same quality and support it has provided its customers since its inception.
“Our new PON solution, OpenPath, is a reflection of our skills and commitment to fulfilling customer requested solutions that evolve to go far beyond today. OpenPath will transform PON deployments, providing our customers with the high-quality tools, customer support and management software they need to deliver the ultra-fast broadband services their end-users desire.” says David Halladay, president and CEO of Precision OT.
Precision OT’s OpenPath solution will bring customers:
- Ability to converge services (residential, commercial, and wireless) over a single infrastructure
- Ability to reuse existing optical distribution network (ODN)/passive resources
- An end to vendor-lock with important financial benefits
- Upgrade eligibility for additional form factors and future PON technologies
- Intuitive software and full support
