This is just out of curiosity really as I don't expect it would be supported, but would it be theoretically possible to run UFB fibre directly into a device with fibre support, such as this one? http://www.gowifi.co.nz/coming-soon-new-products/mikrotik-rb2011uas-2hnd-in-802.11n-wireless-router-with-sfp-port.html?keyword=RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN

BS2 and BS3 Products always have an LFC ONT, BS4 and DFAS products are either LFC or ISP supplied




Most problems are the result of previous solutions...

myfullflavour:
2) Nothing stopping an ISP putting together a product that uses the UFB network of fibre but placing their own hardware at either end. We do this when linking locations in our core network and are likely to take this approach to connect clients at gigabit (or more) speeds next year.


This is an entirely different scenario - you're not linking your customers using GPON so can use any gear you want if you're merely using a dark fibre service or HSNS with no Chorus supplied media converter.

The simple answer to the question is no. In a GPON environment the ONT works very closely with with the OLU and there is no real guaranteed interoperability between GPON vendors.
