Adtran's SDX 630 Series of XGS-PON optical network terminals (ONTs) are designed to provide energy efficiency.

Adtran has unveiled the SDX 630 Series of XGS-PON optical network terminals (ONTs). Besides providing support of symmetrical 10-Gbps broadband services and high-speed WiFi, the ONTs are designed to require low power and long lifetime, thus contributing to overall energy efficiency.

“Our SDX 630 Series is a distillation of everything we’ve learned over the past decade. It features recyclable enclosures, cloud-hosted documentation, and optimized packaging, all designed to put sustainability first,” asserted Eric Presworsky, general manager of residential solutions at Adtran. The SDX 630 Series ONTs also are compliant with Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and European Union COC v8, Presworsky added.

The DSX 630 Series ONTs are designed to be easy to deploy and feature zero-touch service provisioning capabilities. Combined with the company’s service delivery gateways, the ONTs also will support current and future Wi-Fi standards and enable seamless integration with Adtran’s Mosaic One management system, the company stated. Other management and monitoring functionality includes Y.1731 capabilities, continuity check, and ONT-generated multigigabit speed tests.

The series includes indoor and outdoor units as well as an XGS-PON SFP+ ONT that offers complete ONT capabilities in a small form factor pluggable package. The ONT family is part of the company’s open-API access initiative and thus the ONTs are designed to enable easy integration into existing network infrastructure and SDN-based management systems.
