FTTH Typical Networking

FTTH has the following three typical networking models. SFU ONT can be regarded as
a pipe providing L2 data and voice services. HGW ONT provides L3 services; it is the
center of a manageable home network and can be regarded as the "tap" of the smart
pipe.

ONTs with Wi-Fi capabilities can address the needs of most households for Wi-Fi
services. However, for large houses or villas, a single ONT cannot provide indoor Wi-Fi
coverage for the entire house. So, how to tackle this problem?

Huawei's AP Solution for FTTH

Huawei provides an AP solution for implementing FTTH. The solution enables plug-
and-play (PnP) APs and allows mobile terminals to seamlessly switch between APs,
delivering better Wi-Fi experience for users.

PLC AP

 External PnP APs

Set the required SSID information for each AP on the ONT. After the external AP
connects to the ONT, the ONT automatically issues the SSID parameters (such as
SSID name, authentication/encryption mode, and password) to the AP, and the AP
can be directly used without requiring any manual configuration.

Stations (STAs) seamlessly roaming between APs

 As an STA is on the move, it receives weakening signals from the original AP. In
such a case, the STA will automatically disconnect from the AP and connect to
an AP with stronger signals. When connecting to the new AP, the STA uses an
SSID the same as that of the original AP on the ONT. Therefore, the STA does
not require re-configuration.
 The IP addresses of STAs are centrally assigned by the ONT (external APs
connected to ONT in bridge mode) and will not change when the STAs are
mobile terminals. This eliminates the need for obtaining a new IP address and
ensures fast switching, thereby implementing seamless roaming.

 Any Port Any Service Back to
02 Smart Contents
Interconnection
In FTTH applications, services such as IPTV, Internet access, and VoIP are
provisioned to users through ONT Ethernet ports. However, IPTV and Internet
service terminals need to be bound to the respective ports, and users usually make
wrong connections because the mappings between ONT Ethernet ports and
services are not clear to them. Is there any solution to improve the ease of use in
this scenario?

Huawei Solution
Huawei ONTs implement Any Port Any Service using the DHCP option 60 and full
tunnel modes. User terminals such as PCs and STBs can be connected to any
Ethernet port of the ONT, and then the ONT automatically binds the port to the
corresponding service based on the user's connection. This solution improves user
experience and drives down related OAM costs for operators.

Implementing Any Port Any Service

 By using DHCP option 60: Services of the devices connected to the ONT are
identified by DHCP option 60, for example, IPTV (STB), and Internet (PC, laptop).
ONT identifies the service type according to the DHCP option 60 information, and
forwards the packets to the routing WAN port (IPTV WAN or Internet WAN) bound
with the corresponding service type.
 Using the full tunnel mode: The destination IP address or domain name is the
only flag for differentiating service WAN ports. Packets carrying different destination
IP addresses or domain names are forwarded through different WAN ports. The
DHCP server sends DHCP option 121 information to the ONT WAN ports for
defining static routes.

03 Smart Through Home Wi-Fi Contents
Services
Wi-Fi coverage has been a common requirement for public areas such as streets,
shopping malls, and stadiums. In contrast, currently mobile broadband hotspots are
seriously insufficient. Add more micro or macro base stations? It's too costly!

Huawei Solution
ONT supports multiple SSIDs, providing home Wi-Fi and public Wi-Fi coverage at the
same time. Through home Wi-Fi sharing, more public hotspots can be provided and
quickly deployed.
 Each SSID can be configured with its own parameters such as the
encryption/authentication mode, bandwidth, and QoS. In this way, the public Wi-Fi
service does not affect the Wi-Fi traffic usage and security of home Wi-Fi. Public Wi-
Fi supports the Portal and 802.1x authentication modes.
 Different security levels and policies can be configured for different SSIDs (different
user groups) to implement auto-operating and wholesaling of Wi-Fi services.

FTTH networks can continuously provision bandwidth-intensive services and enable

operators to develop OTT video services. High-quality video service experience not
only fulfills users' requirements for differentiated bandwidth services, but will also
promote bandwidth consumption.
So, how to ensure the high bandwidth and quality of OTT video services?

Huawei Solution

When supporting Any Port Any Service, ONTs can also identify HSI, OTT, and IPTV
services based on domain name or destination IP address. The ONTs will forward
services to the respective WAN ports or mark the services with different priorities,
implementing different levels of QoS assurance for different services.

PON has become the mainstream technology for building FTTx networks. With
users' increasing demands for high-bandwidth services such as OTT video and 4K
TV, NGPON is also being commercially applied.

Huawei Solution

Huawei's FTTH solution supports GPON and 10G GPON. 10G GPON has two
network building modes:
 Newly built 10G GPON network: 10G GPON and GPON networks are physically
separated. The clear network architecture facilitates management and centralized
service planning.
 Hybrid network: The existing ODN networks are fully reused. Based on the
original GPON coverage, ultra-high-speed access is provided to users requiring
high bandwidths. Physically GPON and 10G GPON share the same network, but
logically they are separated.

Operators can choose to deploy a new 10G GPON network, or smoothly upgrade the
GPON network to 10G GPON. Specifically, add the WDM1r component to the OLT
so that GPON and 10G GPON signals are multiplexed and transmitted over the

OAM
When services need to be provisioned to a large number of ONT users, the manual
provisioning mode has low efficiency and also involves a complicated process. This
scenario calls for automated service provisioning where ONTs can plug and play
without requiring engineers to visit the site.

Huawei Solution

There are diversified scenarios. For example, different ONT models are used,
NMS/ITMS is available or is not available, and services are provisioned through
NMS, ITMS, or the directly interconnected device. Huawei's FTTH solution supports
multiple protocol schemes to meet such requirements.

 Smart Isolation of Rogue ONTs Back to
04 Smart Contents
OAM

In a PON network, due to external factors or component quality reasons, there may
be some ONTs that emit light continuously or randomly. Such ONTs are called rogue
ONTs and will cause all ONUs under the PON port to failure to work, resulting in
service interruption. Identifying a rogue ONT by removing and re-inserting fibers one
by one is time- and labor-consuming. Therefore, a method for effectively detecting
and isolating rogue ONTs is an indispensable function in PON network OAM.

Huawei Solution

Based on different hardware, Huawei's FTTH solution provides two mechanisms for
automatically detecting and isolating rogue ONTs.

Continue to

OLT Periodic Detection Mechanism

The OLT periodically checks PON ports for rogue ONTs that continuously emit light.
When detecting a rogue ONT, the OLT starts identifying the ONT by shutting down the
Tx power of ONT optical modules one by one based on the light availability mechanism.
After locating the rogue ONT, the OLT shuts down the Tx power of the corresponding
optical module to isolate the rogue ONT.

It takes a relatively long detection period and interrupts services; applicable

only to rogue ONTs that continuously emit light.

OLT Real-time Detection Mechanism

In the case of ONTs equipped with the SD5115 chip, the OLT can detect and identify
the rogue ONTs in real time and automatically isolate the rogue ONTs.

OLT detects rogue ONTs in real time and does not interrupt services;
applicable to rogue ONTs that emit light continuously or randomly.
