Sure, but the alternative being discussed here is running some kind of duct taped together GPON/RF Frankenstein (assuming something like that was even technically possible, which it isn't). Arguing that a shelf is too expensive and an Active Ethernet deployment is too much of a headache makes no sense in this context.

You'd have to provision 18 customers differently than the other 1000 which is just a headache. A one time purchase of a shelf and GPON4/GPON8 is better in the long run.

About 18 homes.Too far to get there with fiber right now. Maybe in a few years.So I want to extend my system up to them. Will take a repeater. So need to probably haul a gig up there on point to point.I would prefer to be able to serve these customers with Calix GPON. I could put an E2 system up there and feed it with ethernet. But it seems someone has come up with a way to extend an actual OLT/OIM type of signal via RF and put it back on the fiber such that the ONU thinks it is talking back to my E7-20 shelf at my C.O.Does any of this sound familiar?
