HGU ONU: The Efficient Gateway for FTTH Solution

The internet has become an integral part of daily life for modern families. High-quality streaming, seamless online gaming, and smooth smart device connections all demand an efficient, stable, and flexible network solution. With the in-depth deployment of FTTH (Fiber to the Home), HGU (Home Gateway unit) ONU is becoming the ideal choice for modern home networks.

What is HGU ONU

As the terminal of PON network, HGU ONU is an all-in-one device that serves as both an ONU and a home gateway designed for single-family units. It connects to the OLT via a PON uplink interface and a PLC Splitter, converting the optical signals from the PON network into electrical signals at the user end.

Additionally, it includes built-in routing, Wi-Fi access, and Ethernet switching capabilities. This allows it to effectively manage and allocate home network traffic, providing end-users with reliable and efficient network access.

For FTTH scenarios, the integrated features of HGU ONU make setup and management much easier:

• Fewer devices: Users don’t need to buy and manage multiple devices like routers, switches, and Wi-Fi access points. One HGU ONU can handle all the network needs.

• Easy installation and setup: HGU ONU devices are compact and easy to install. The entire home network can be set up with just a few simple steps.

• Unified management: HGU ONU provides a single management interface, allowing users to manage the home network, including device connections, bandwidth allocation, and security settings, all from one platform.

Introduction of FS HGU ONU Series

FS offers a variety of HGU ONUs tailored to different household needs, supporting automatic switching between GPON and EPON for flexible network compatibility. The table below provides detailed information about the FS HGU ONU series.

Key Advantages of FS HGU ONU in FTTH Solution

Multiple WiFi Options for Personalized Needs

FS HGU ONUs offer a range of wireless options, from WiFi4 (802.11n) to WiFi6 (802.11ax). Users can choose the best network type based on their needs, ensuring efficient connectivity and data transmission for all home devices. Notably, the WiFi6 ONU supports dual-band operation on 2.4GHz and 5GHz, as well as Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology. This allows multiple devices to send and receive data at the same time, reducing wait times and improving overall network efficiency.

Multi-Service Ports for Diverse Applications

In addition to the PON port, the FS HGU ONU integrates a wide range of multi-service ports, supporting Ethernet services, analog telephony, cable TV, and various other home application scenarios. This design allows users to access data, voice, and video services through a single device, significantly simplifying the deployment and maintenance of home networks.

Convenient Network Management

The FS HGU ONU supports multiple network management protocols, including TR-069, web UI, SNMP, and OMCI, offering flexible and powerful network management capabilities. Both users and operators can manage the device through these protocols, easily configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the network, which enhances operational efficiency and reduces the complexity of manual network management.

High Security Protection

The FS HGU ONU features multiple layers of security mechanisms to ensure user network safety. The device supports firewall functions to effectively ward off external threats. Additionally, the FS HGU ONU includes IEEE 802.1X authentication, AES-128 encryption, MAC address filtering, and URL filtering, providing comprehensive security protection for user network access and preventing unauthorized access and data breaches.

Intelligent Network Traffic Management

The FS HGU ONU is equipped with advanced network traffic management features, including QoS (Quality of Service) and DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation). These features intelligently allocate bandwidth based on the needs of different applications, ensuring priority for critical services. Through dynamic bandwidth allocation, the device can optimize network performance during peak times, guaranteeing a smooth experience across various applications for users.

Case Studies of University Using FS HGU ONU

A non-profit educational institution in Kenya needs to upgrade the network infrastructure for universities within its jurisdiction. Budget constraints make it essential that the new network be high-quality, easy to maintain, and secure. To achieve this, FS chose Wi-Fi 6 ONU for the dormitories. Each dorm room operates like an independent household, with the ONU replacing traditional wireless routers. Supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, it offers speeds up to 3000Mbps. This solution reduces equipment costs and simplifies network management. This setup allows students and staff to enjoy seamless, 24/7 network access. Even with multiple devices connected, the network quality remains high. Additionally, visualized management and diverse security protocols make maintenance easier and enhance network security. This solution not only lightens the workload for maintenance staff but also boosts the network's stability, reliability, and security.

Conclusion

As a smart home gateway, the HGU ONU combines photoelectric conversion, fiber optic access, and wireless routing to provide high-speed, reliable internet for households. Contact our FS solutions team to help you choose the right ONU equipment and set up an efficient, stable FTTH solution.
