FiberHome GNOA XGS-PON Card

Fiberhome GNOA overview

GNOA is a 16-port XGS-PON and GPON combo card, which can be used in the chassis of Fiberhome brand OLT AN6000-7, AN6000-15, AN6000-17, and AN6000-2.
XGS-PON is a passive optical network access technology standardized in ITU-T G.9807, which is evolved from the ITU-T G.987 (XG-PON) standard. The figure below shows the network structure of XGS-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 & XGS-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

• Smooth upgrade: XGS-PON service cards can replace XG-PON 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.
• Low power consumption: An XGS-PON card consumes less than 70 W power.
• Clock and time synchronization with high precision: Uses the system time transfer protocol defined in IEEE 802.1as, and supports synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), IEEE1588 V2, and 1PPS+ToD.
• Overall protection: Supports backbone fiber protection (Type B) and all-fiber protection (Type C). The switching time is no more than 50 ms.
• Efficient data transmission: Encapsulates all the data to be transmitted into 125 us frames (fixed length frames) with the new XGEM encapsulation structure, which uses fewer transmission overhead bytes and improves the transmission efficiency.

Application Scenarios

1. F5G-A Ultra-Broadband Rollout in Singapore

A Singaporean telecom integrated FiberHome GNOA Boards into AN6000-17 OLTs for the central business district and dense residential areas. The 16-port GPON/XGS-PON combo card delivered symmetric 10Gbps speeds, supporting 8K IPTV, cloud gaming, and enterprise cloud access for 4,096 subscribers (1:256 splitting ratio). Backward compatibility with legacy GPON ONUs and shared ODN infrastructure reduced upgrade costs, while Type B/C PON protection (≤50ms switching) ensured 99.999% availability—aligning with the operator’s smart city F5G-A deployment.

2. Mixed-Service Convergence in Canada

A Canadian ISP deployed GNOA Boards in AN6000-07 OLTs for Vancouver’s suburban mixed-use districts. The card’s dual-mode flexibility (GPON/XGS-PON) catered to residential broadband and small enterprise backhaul needs. WDM1R wavelength splitting optimized bandwidth allocation, and RSSI optical power detection simplified remote maintenance. Low power consumption (<70W) suited distributed deployments, while 60km transmission covered scattered communities. This solution reused existing fiber infrastructure, enabling cost-effective multi-service access and future-proofing for bandwidth growth.
