Description

Fiberhome GM8A overview

GM8A is an 8-port XG-PON and GPON combo card, which can be used in the chassis of Fiberhome brand OLT AN6000-7AN6000-15AN6000-17, and AN6000-2.
As a next-generation enhanced GPON technology evolved from GPON technology standardized in ITU-T G.984, XGPON caters to the demand for high-bandwidth services. The figure below shows the network structure of XG-PON.
Combo PON adopts the new WDM1r technology to achieve optical wave splitting, and one device can meet the bandwidth requirements from high to low of different subscribers in a unified area. The self-adaptation of GPON & XG-PON is realized by inserting different optical modules into each PON port, which is the best choice for ISP companies under the current wave of network upgrades.

Product Features

  • GPON & XG-PON Combo access: GPON and XG-PON ONUs can be connected to the same service card.
  • Smooth upgrade: XG-PON service cards can replace GPON service cards with little configuration change. Accordingly, services can be migrated smoothly.
    Software and hardware compatibility: Bandwidth can be upgraded without replacing subracks. Various PON service cards can coexist in a subrack.
  • Clock and time synchronization with high precision: Uses the system time transfer protocol as defined in IEEE 802. 1 as supports synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), IEEE1588 V2, and 1PPS+ToD.
  • Overall protection: Supports backbone fiber protection (Type B) and all-fiber protection (Type C), with a switching time of no more than 50 ms.
  • Efficient data transmission: Encapsulates all the data to be transmitted into 125 us frames (fixed length frames) with a new GEM encapsulation structure, which uses fewer transmission overhead bytes and improves the transmission efficiency.
    The transmission efficiency can reach 93% when the downlink rate is 10 Gbit/s or the uplink rate is 2.5 Gbit/s.

Application Scenarios

1. Urban GPON-to-XG-PON Upgrade in Italy

An Italian telecom integrated FiberHome GM8A Boards into AN6000-17 OLTs for Milan’s dense residential areas. The 8-port GPON/XG-PON combo card supported smooth migration from legacy GPON, delivering 10Gbps downlink/2.5Gbps uplink speeds for 4K IPTV and cloud services. With 1:256 splitting ratio and 60km transmission, it served 2,048 subscribers per board while sharing existing ODN infrastructure. Type B/C PON protection (≤50ms switching) ensured reliability, and 1588v2 synchronization guaranteed high-quality video calls—aligning with the operator’s cost-effective F5G upgrade.

2. Mixed-Service Convergence in South Africa

A South African ISP deployed GM8A Boards in AN6000-07 OLTs for Cape Town’s suburban mixed-use districts. The card’s flexible mode adaptation (GPON/XG-PON) catered to both residential broadband and small enterprise cloud needs. WDM1R technology enabled wavelength splitting, optimizing bandwidth allocation for diverse traffic. RSSI optical power detection simplified maintenance, and hot-swappable design reduced downtime. This solution protected existing investments by supporting legacy GPON ONUs, making it ideal for medium-scale multi-service access in scattered communities.
