Ubiquiti GPON - What is the Use-Case?
-
So I was wandering around Ubiquiti's site and came across their GPON page and was wondering what the use case is for this product. Who would use this?
-
It's for your ISP. It's equipment for your fiber provider to get Internet, television and phone to your home.

@scottalanmiller Thanks. I was thinking that but the switch seemed pretty small in terms of port density.

"Downlink
1024 Nano G Client capacity"I'd say that's plenty dense for a single switch! That's 128 per port... don't think I'd want service from something that dense....
"GPON Speeds & Range
2.488 Gbps Upstream (TX)
1.244 Gbps Downstream (RX)
Up to 20 km Link"that speed has to be shared with everyone on each port on the switch. Not terrible, but also not great if a port is maxed out.

Yeah, I was referring to the number of physical ports on the switch.

Ah. Still, that's massive density, just read up on GPON if you're curious. # of physical ports starts to not matter so much.

I might actually get one of these and ask my ISP if its usable for my connection, would be nice to know at a glance.

How would you use this?

Your isp would have to purchase and deploy.
The most expensive part about this whole enterprise would be laying the fiber plant, plus the fear of the dozer.

I already have fiber in the house, so I would simply ask if the MSP would let me use this for the demark instead of the POS that they have down stairs.

@dustinb3403 Its a worth a try. The worse they could say is no. Best is that it could save you a couple bucks a month.
