ZTE SMXA/1 Overview
The ZTE SMXA/1 is a compact control/uplink board for the ZXA10 C320 OLT platform, offering high-density, multi-service access (GPON, XG-PON, P2P) with 10G/GE uplink, carrier-class reliability (redundancy, Type B/C protection), service differentiation (QoS), and advanced security for FTTx, VoIP, IPTV, and mobile backhaul. Its key features include a unified platform, small size, support for various services, robust security, and high reliability for smooth network evolution.
Product Features
- Unified Platform: Supports GPON, XG-PON1, and P2P, allowing smooth migration and integration.
- High-Density & Compact: Fits into the 2U C320 chassis, saving space and fiber, with high port density.
- Flexible & Full-Service Access: Enables FTTH, FTTB, IPTV, VoIP, HSI, VPN, and mobile backhaul.
- High Reliability: Includes key parts redundancy, Type B/C PON protection, and uplink protection (LACP, STP, ERPS).
- Advanced Security: Features ONT authentication, port isolation, address binding, and packet filtering.
- Service Differentiation: Comprehensive QoS for voice, video, and data.
Application Scenarios
Application Scenario of ZTE SMXA/1 Control Card
A Turkish regional telecom operator deployed ZTE SMXA/1 control cards with ZXA10 C320 OLTs to serve sparse rural households. The SMXA/1’s compact design fits small cabinets (no large equipment rooms needed) and supports 8-port GPON/EPON boards, 1:64 splitting, and 1,024 ONTs/rack—ideal for low-density areas.
With 128Gbps switching capacity, 2-port GE uplink (via UCDC/1), and low power use (18-22W), it cut TCO (unit price $1,500-$2,000). Post-launch, it covered 8 villages, served 500+ households, and maintained 99.7% uptime. Its IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack and 1588v2 sync met rural users’ video/education needs, with easy 10GE upgrade via UCDC cards for future growth.
