It is thus no mistery that the MA5600T OLT series, via the multitude of ports that it integrates, allows for unlimited enterprise-scale connectivity and accesibility.
FUNCTIONS
As you might have already guessed, the MA5600T OLT series is responsible for a wide range of functions. For example, some functions of MA5600T are:
HetAN - MA5600T supports multiple network construction modes and diversified access media to provide access as part of a heterogeneous access network (HetAN);
all-in-one - the integrated fiber-copper access platform and the access-aggregation integration capability effectively ensure the smooth evolution of the access network;
aggregation management for remote sites - eliminating the need for onsite software commissioning and OSS system integration, simplifying device management;
high-bandwidth copper access - MA5600T revives the cooper lines after the use of new technologies such as VDSL2, Vectoring and SuperVector, which increase the bandwidth over the existing copper lines;
seamless migration for PSTN networks - the series provides access for various traditional services, enabling a PSTN network seamlessly evolve into an IP network;
triple protection - MA5600T boasts 3 protection mechanisms: one on the network side, one on the access side, and one on the device to ensure that services are not interrupted;
environment-friendly - the series complies with the European Union's (EU's) Code of Conduct (CoC) standard, integrating an energy-saving design, optimizing power consumption, noise and heat dissipation;
smooth evolution from GPON to 10G GPON - by adding the WDM1r component, the series can be smoothly upgraded from GPON to 10G GPON.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Huawei SmartAX MA5600T is a series of large capacity devices, suitable even for the most demanding of the enterprise-scale networking needs. If your network requires uninterrupted connectivity, then this is undoubtedly the OLT you need. For more information, please check this link.
