Cisco Routed PON

Unite your services and your network

Reimagine your broadband access network with an easy-to-use, disaggregated, and flexible solution that unites broadband, wireless, and business services on the same network backbone. Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance sensors and analytics provide deep visibility with granular performance metrics and visualization of the end-to-end network with real-time KPI reporting and SLA policing. Proactive service quality monitoring and ML-assisted rapid anomaly detection help to ensure the highest-quality broadband services to customers.

Overview Resources

Your network, transformed

Routed PON eliminates the need for a separate OLT chassis, enabling agile and differentiated broadband services with operational efficiency at scale.

Increase flexibility

Adapt your network to changing requirements when you overlay 10G XGS-PON on an existing optical distribution network with GPON and EPON. Interoperability with ITU-T XGS-compliant vendors avoids ONT lock-in.

Simplify your infrastructure

Converge PON with other access technologies like active Ethernet on your IP router, with a common operating system and tooling driving higher quality and lower operational costs.

Monetize your services

Differentiate residential, business, and wireless services over PON with embedded real-time performance sensors that enable microsecond latency measurements, millisecond sampling with per-second reporting, and sub 1% packet loss detection. Proven Cisco IOS XR capabilities such as segment routing and EVPN enable exceptional subscriber experiences.

Protect your investment

Build your network to be ready for 10G, 25G, 50G, 100G, and 200G PON and beyond. As new Cisco pluggable OLTs become available, you simply plug them into your router on a port-by-port basis.
