Over the years, fiber-based access has proven to be a cost-effective way to reach customer premises to deliver managed business and residential services. The Cisco ME 4600 Series Optical Network Terminal (ONT) portfolio offers an exceptionally broad and scalable solution. The Cisco ME 4600 series offers network service providers a flexible and cost-effective approach for optical fiber access solutions over active or passive optical network architectures.
The Cisco ME 4600 Multiservice Optical Access Platform includes reliable ONT devices designed for optical fiber network infrastructures in either point-to-point (P2P) or point-to-multipoint (P2MP) topologies. Ethernet or passive optical network (PON) technologies like Gigabit PON (GPON) are supported by the Cisco ME 4600 Series. Cisco ME 4600 Series products (Figure 1) support any fiber-based (FTTx) access scenarios, including fiber to the home (FTTH), fiber to the building (FTTB), fiber to the curb (FTTC), fiber to the cell (FTTc), and fiber to the business (FTTb).
