Delivering a reliable internet connection, especially in rural areas is a challenge. Large PON systems are often not economically feasible due to high investments and low port utilization. Scalable approaches are needed to face those challenges. This is where our outdoor access aggregation devices come into play.
Combined with the HELIX pluggable OLTs from WISI, NOVALINK offers a port-based and therefore flexible and scalable XGS-PON solution. Its ruggedized design enables versatile deployments wherever they are needed.
Novalink XGS-PON: network operator perspective
Expect significant savings in both capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx).
Lower installation costs and scalable solutions enable providers to respond quickly to market demand, improve connectivity and drive economic growth in rural areas.
Remote OLT solution for outdoor use
By integrating our Helix OLT pluggables into our outdoor aggregation devices, they become port-based Remote Optical Line Terminals (OLT). This allows service providers to deploy and scale their PON technology wherever it is needed — on walls or poles — without extensive infrastructure changes.
Key advantages
- Weatherproof: IP68-rated housing for outdoor use that can withstand harsh environments.
- Flexible: Deploy your OLT wherever you want for an efficient, disaggregated infrastructure approach.
- Easy installation: Quick and efficient installation minimises downtime and disruption.
- Scalability: Seamlessly add devices as demand increases and accommodate more users without overhauling existing systems.
Our outdoor access aggregation devices solve several critical problems for network operators:
- Limited reach: Extending internet connectivity to underserved rural areas by pushing the OLT towards the edge.
- High infrastructure costs: Reduce investment costs with our compact solution and maintain quality of service.
- Operational complexity: Streamline operations and run your services remotely reducing the complexity of your network.
