NOKIA 7360 ISAM FX-8 Overview
The NOKIA Alcatel-Lucent 7360 ISAM FX-8 OLT, configured with 2×FANT-F modules and 1×NGFC-E power unit, features an 8-service-slot chassis paired with a non-blocking, high-capacity backplane delivering 2×100Gb/s per slot. It is equipped with 480Gb/s high-performance NT controllers boasting 40Gb/s network capacity—flexible for use as uplinks, downlinks, or direct user links—while an optional Network Termination Input Output (NTIO) module can add an extra 80Gb/s of network capacity. The OLT supports GPON, XGS-PON, and universal next-generation PON (NG-PON) technologies, and concurrently enables mixed-service access including passive optical network (PON), point-to-point, POTS, and VDSL2 with vectoring.

Application Scenarios & Real-World Cases
1. Swiss Smart City & Utility Services Deployment
Swiss energy provider Energie Wasser Luzern (EWL) deployed the 7360 ISAM FX-8 to power smart metering (water/electricity) and ultra-broadband services for 12,000 buildings across Lucerne and its suburbs. Leveraging GPON/XGS-PON support and QoS capabilities, it unifies residential/business connectivity with secure utility monitoring on a single infrastructure, while enabling future upgrades to 25G PON.
2. South Korean Hospitality & Resort Network
The 7360 ISAM FX-8 serves as the core access node for Jeju Shinhwa World, a large-scale resort in South Korea. It supports 1,326 hotel rooms with triple-play services (IPTV, VoIP, high-speed Wi-Fi) and facility management systems. Its 8-service-slot capacity and non-blocking backplane (2×100Gb/s per slot) deliver seamless connectivity across the resort, eliminating the need for floor-level equipment closets.
3. European High-Density Urban FTTH Rollout
A leading European telecom operator adopted the 7360 ISAM FX-8 for metro area FTTH deployments in major cities. Its multi-service support (GPON/XGS-PON, VDSL2 vectoring, POTS) caters to mixed residential/business demands, while the 8-slot chassis and 480Gb/s switching capacity scale to serve tens of thousands of users per node. The solution simplifies network management via centralized control and ensures smooth evolution to next-gen PON technologies.
