GFOA is a 16-port GPON XG-PON XGS-PON flexible interface card, which can be used in the chassis of Fiberhome brand OLT AN6000-7, AN6000-15, AN6000-17, and AN6000-2.
Agile-PON is a flexible PON solution developed by FiberHome for GPON and XG(S)-PON applications. It allows a service card to integrate multiple PON technologies by using different PON optical modules. In this way, OLT resources in the current network can be fully exploited, which facilitates smooth evolution from GPON to XG(S)-PON for operators.
The ports of an Agile-PON service card can work in multiple modes, which can be identified manually or automatically.
Automatic identification: Optical modules are identified and working modes are switched automatically.
Manual identification: You can set the port mode of an Agile-PON service card manually as needed.
Application Scenarios
1. F5G-A Ultra-Broadband Rollout in Saudi Arabia
A Saudi telecom deployed FiberHome GFOA Boards in AN6000-17 OLTs for Riyadh’s dense urban and business districts. The 16-port agile-PON card supported GPON/XGS-PON coexistence, delivering symmetric 10Gbps speeds for 8K IPTV, cloud computing, and enterprise backhaul. With 1:256 splitting ratio and 60km transmission, it efficiently served 4,096 subscribers per board, covering urban cores and suburban extensions. Backward compatibility with legacy GPON ONUs protected investments, while 1588v2 synchronization ensured high-quality video services—aligning with the operator’s F5G-A infrastructure upgrade.
2. Mixed-Service Convergence in Finland
A Finnish ISP adopted GFOA Boards in AN6000-07 OLTs for Helsinki’s suburban mixed-use areas and tech parks. The card’s flexible mode switching (GPON/XG-PON/XGS-PON) adapted to residential broadband and enterprise cloud needs. Dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) optimized traffic distribution, and ODN sharing eliminated the need for new fiber deployment. Automatic optical module identification simplified maintenance, while rogue ONU detection enhanced network security. This cost-effective solution supported smooth evolution to 10G PON, meeting medium-scale multi-service access demands in harsh Nordic climates.
