Description

Functional Role and Target Integration
The ZTE HFTL is a 16-port xgs-pon service card designed for use with ZXA10 OLT platforms such as C600, C650, and C680. It delivers multi-standard GPON/XG-PON/XGS-PON and combo mode access, ensuring compatibility across evolving network architectures. Built to support mass broadband deployments, it provides telecom operators with flexible optical uplinks, scalable bandwidth, and high-density port design. As a core module, it simplifies FTTH and enterprise fiber integration while supporting advanced xgs-pon fiber transmission over long distances.

Technical Architecture and Key Parameters
The HFTL module integrates 16 ports with combo access supporting GPON, XG-PON, and xgs-pon sfp+ interfaces. It uses Class B+, C+, C++, and D optical modules, offering dynamic optical link budgets suitable for large-scale networks. Its compact 39.3×3.0×21.4 cm housing weighs 1.65 kg, ensuring optimal installation efficiency within dense OLT chassis environments. Designed for 10 Gbps symmetrical transmission, the card maximizes downstream and upstream utilization while maintaining low latency and high optical sensitivity. Compatible with ZTE’s OLT firmware ecosystem, it offers stable operation under 1–3 day lead times and supports standardized management via CLI and NMS tools.

Deployment Scope and Application Scenarios
The HFTL card extends broadband infrastructure in metropolitan and enterprise-grade xgs pon router networks. It supports hybrid PON deployment, enabling operators to migrate from GPON to XGS-PON seamlessly. This module facilitates high-speed broadband, IPTV, 5G backhaul, and campus fiber solutions with consistent reliability. Its flexible compatibility with ZTE OLT platforms ensures easy network expansion and integration across multi-service providers. The device’s strong signal sensitivity and energy-efficient circuitry make it suitable for 24/7 operation in large-scale xgs-pon ont environments requiring robust uptime and minimal maintenance.

Product Advantages

High Port Density and Flexible PON Modes
The HFTL provides 16 ports supporting GPON, XG-PON, and xgs-pon sfp+ combo access, significantly improving bandwidth utilization and reducing equipment costs. Its modular configuration simplifies maintenance while enabling scalability. The support for multiple optical classes ensures adaptability to diverse xgs-pon fiber network topologies and long-reach deployments.

Superior Transmission and Power Efficiency
Optimized for 10 Gbps symmetrical transmission, the card delivers enhanced throughput with minimal power consumption. The low-loss optical design and advanced temperature regulation ensure long-term reliability. Its integration within ZTE OLT systems maintains high optical precision, reducing jitter and improving overall xgs pon router performance under full load conditions.

Seamless Compatibility and Quick Deployment
Fully compatible with ZTE C600, C650, and C680 OLT platforms, the HFTL module allows plug-and-play deployment. Installation requires no additional firmware adaptation, ensuring rapid network scaling. Remote management through ZTE’s network software simplifies configuration, making it an ideal choice for ISPs expanding xgs-pon ont infrastructures with minimal downtime.

ZTE GFTL Overview

The HFTL is a ZTE ZXA10 16-port multi-mode PON service card compatible with ZXA10 C600/C650/C680 OLTs, which—along with its enhanced version and the Enhanced HFTH—provides flexible 16-port GPON/XG-PON/XGS-PON/XG-PON Combo/XGS-PON Combo access, with port access features consistent with the corresponding dedicated xPON card based on the type of plugged optical module, and supports Optical Line Supervision (OLS), the optical module Auto Laser Shutdown (ALS) function, as well as hot-swappable capability; in contrast, the GFTL is a dedicated 16-port XGS-PON OLT interface board compatible with N1/N2a modules, which is also applicable to the same ZTE ZXA10 C600/C650/C680 OLT models, and features a maximum optical split ratio of 1:256, along with support for optical power monitoring, the optical module ALS function and hot swapping to ensure efficient and reliable network operation and maintenance.

Product Features

  • High-Density PON Ports: Provides multiple XGS-PON ports (e.g., 16 ports per card) for fiber-to-the-home/business (FTTH/FTTB) deployments, supporting gigabit speeds.
  • Unified Access Platform: Works with ZTE's TITAN platform (C600, C620, C650 OLTs) for flexible, large-capacity optical access.
  • Future-Proofing (5G/5G-A Ready): Supports advanced services like 4K/8K video, virtual reality (VR), and Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC).
  • AI Integration: Incorporates AI for intelligent scheduling, beamforming (in related base station tech), and enhanced user experience, boosting capacity and reducing congestion.
  • Green Design: Emphasizes energy efficiency through compact OLTs and environmentally friendly materials for sustainable network builds.
  • Programmable Architecture: Uses a fully distributed, programmable router architecture for network flexibility and support for SDN/NFV. 

Application Scenarios

1. Phased Network Upgrade in Spain

A leading Spanish telecom deployed ZTE HFTL 16-port multi-mode PON cards on ZXA10 C650 OLTs for its nationwide GPON-to-10G PON transition. The card’s support for GPON/XG-PON/XGS-PON and combo modes allowed the operator to retain existing GPON ONUs while rolling out XGS-PON for urban high-demand users. Port performance adapted to inserted modules, delivering symmetric 10Gbps speeds for businesses and stable broadband for homes. OLS enabled remote fault detection, ALS enhanced field safety, and hot-swappable design minimized downtime, aligning with Spain’s digital transformation goals.

2. Enterprise & Residential Convergence in Japan

NTT Communications adopted ZTE HFTL boards on ZXA10 C680 OLTs for a mixed-use tech park in Tokyo. The multi-mode card supported GPON for basic residential access, XG-PON for video streaming services, and XGS-PON for enterprise cloud connectivity—all via a single board. This unified deployment reduced infrastructure costs, while OLS ensured service reliability for mission-critical business operations. Hot-swapping allowed on-demand capacity expansion, and ALS protected maintenance teams, meeting the park’s diverse bandwidth needs from IoT devices to 8K video conferencing.
