In recent years, Huawei has worked hard to innovate and customize its access product portfolio. These efforts include integration of GPON, EPON, and active Ethernet capabilities onto a single platform; incorporation of aggregation functionality into the OLT, partly due to demand from China Telecom and China Unicom; and the addition of a non-blocking architecture for more flexibility and features that enable open access and interoperability, as demanded particularly by government-led next-generation access projects. At the ONT level, Huawei’s recent portfolio additions include “plug-and-play, dual-mode” ONTs with automatic configuration that can support either EPON or GPON with no need to change line cards. Huawei is also moving towards vertical integration. In general, Huawei works with chipset vendors to incorporate technology advancements. However, for 10G GPON, Huawei (trialed by Verizon recently ? a breakthrough given Huawei’s negligible presence in the North American market) developed the chip itself, enabling more control over price. Competitors also offer some of these innovations, but it is clear that Huawei continues to probe the needs and concerns of its customers and intends to orient its product roadmap towards further innovation
