ZTE SMXA/3 Overview
The ZTE SMXA/3 is a control and uplink board for the ZTE ZXA10 C320 OLT, offering carrier-grade features like high-speed GE/10GE uplinks, management interfaces (CLI, SNMP), redundant power/control, precise clock synchronization (1588v2, SyncE), and support for diverse services (IPTV, VoIP, HSI) with strong QoS and security, ensuring reliability and flexible deployment in optical access networks.
Product Features
- Control & Management: Integrated control, switching, and power management for the OLT, supporting active/standby redundancy and local/remote maintenance.
- High-Speed Uplinks: Provides GE/10GE electrical and optical uplink ports for upstream traffic, with configurations like 1x10GE + 1xGE or more depending on pinch cards.
- Unified Platform: Supports GPON, XG-PON, P2P, and is compatible with C300 line cards for flexible service integration.
- Reliability: Supports carrier-grade redundancy (Type B/C PON, LACP/STP/ERPS for uplink), hot-swappable cards, and redundant DC/AC power input.
- Service Support: Delivers IPTV, VoIP, HSI, VPN, and mobile backhaul with advanced QoS and multicast.
- Time Synchronization: Offers high-precision 1588v2 and Synchronous Ethernet for mobile backhaul requirements.
Application Scenarios
Application Scenario of ZTE SMXA/3 Control Card
A Spanish telecom operator used ZTE SMXA/3 control cards with ZXA10 C320 OLTs for suburban FTTH deployments (residential parks, small enterprises). The SMXA/3 offers 128Gbps switching capacity, 1xGE+1x10GE uplink (via UCDC/3), 32K MAC table, and low power use (22W static, 30W max)—perfect for medium-density areas.
Priced at ~$1,500–$2,000/unit, it cut TCO. It supported GPON/EPON boards, 1:64 splitting, and 1588v2 sync, meeting users’ video/office needs. Post-launch, it covered 5 suburbs, served 800+ households/20 SMEs, and maintained 99.8% uptime. Its flexible networking (ring/cascading) enabled quick expansion, adapting to future 10GE bandwidth growth easily.
