All FTTH deployments that we are aware of universally assume a take rate of 25...35%. Only 25-35% of
interfaces need to be accommodated on switches in a Eth. P2P scenario rather than 100% in PON.
Strong encryption required to prevent eavesdropping
No resilience
OLT optics is single point of failure for entire tree
corrupt CPE can impact entire PON tree
Theoretical maximum number of customers per tree is rarely reached due to take-up rates, unless very
expensive ODFs in the field are used to optimize utilization

ONT
No resilience
OLT optics is single point of failure for entire tree
corrupt CPE can impact entire PON tree
ONT
Jamming is veryOLT
easy
just transmit continuous light and the whole tree is OOS
ONT
e.g., a GPON ONT delivering 100 Mbit/s to an end customer has to operate at 2.5 Gbit/s
Theoretical maximum number of customers per tree is rarely reached due to take-up rates, unless very
expensive ODFs in the field are used to optimize utilization
