On the CO-side electronics, however... I think it's safe to say that you can do GPON under $100/port. AE is probably going to run close to $300/port. That's a pretty big cost difference, and if it were me I'd be looking pretty hard at a PON deployment for the majority of the customers along with a certain amount of fiber left over for those who need special services.
How do you come to the $300 per AE port? When I look at it, I get around USD100-150 per AE port including SFP.
Also, I expect the customer end to be cheaper for AE than for PON, right? -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swm...@swm.pp.se
