- Supported by Juniper ACX7024, ACX7024X, ACX7100-48L, ACX5448, and ACX710 Universal Metro Routers
- Easily migrate 1G or 2.5G FTTx service to 10G PON over the existing fiber plant
- OLT-compatible with wide variety of third-party ONU/ONT devices
- Integrate new 10G PON services with your Juniper BNG and Junos OS metro architecture
Features + Benefits
Simplified Architecture
Deploy new 10G PON services alongside existing Ethernet services, such as mobile backhaul, remote PHY, direct Internet, and metro Ethernet, on the same device.
Ease 10G Migration
Easily migrate 1G or 2.5G FTTx services to 10G PON over your existing fiber plant using a wide variety of third-party ONU/ONT devices. For greenfield applications, go immediately to 10G PON on every fiber for highly competitive access and aggregation services. Either way, your new PON architecture benefits from industry-leading virtual or physical BNG solutions and Junos orchestration.
Open, Standards-Based Platform
Unified PON is compatible with most third-party ONU/ONT devices, eliminating vendor lock-in with legacy systems. Juniper delivers the industry’s most comprehensive suite of automation tools for creating customized end-to-end workflows. The tools support a wide variety of APIs to integrate operations, as well as the NETCONF configuration protocol, and YANG data modeling.
Integration with BNG Operations
Unified PON helps broadband providers deliver service agility, subscriber density, and automation. It combines Juniper’s integrated 10G PON OLT transceivers with a supported ACX Series router on a Juniper BNG-enabled service architecture, creating a highly distributed access and aggregation solution that can load-balance and scale across broadband service delivery networks.
