These innovations provide strong support for fiber-based transformation and the high-quality development of home networks.
ZTE offers a wide range of ONT products, catering to various needs and scenarios. The offerings support evolution from 10G Passive Optical Networking (PON) to 50G PON at the network side and enable migration from gigabit-plus to 10G broadband at the user side. Moreover, ZTE ONTs comply with multiple Internet of Things (IoT) protocols, helping operators deliver superior home broadband services to their customers.
The success of ZTE ONTs can be seen in their extensive global deployment.
