AXOS E3-2 Intelligent PON Node

Keep customers connected even in the most unforgiving places

Today’s service providers are choosing the AXOS E3-2 system because of its reliability, lower total cost of ownership and always on operations. The system has a ‘deploy anywhere’ design that can be mounted aerially, in a pedestal, or on a pole. This flexibility dramatically reduces costs while accelerating construction and service activation.

 

Ready to double your 10G PON capacity while reducing power consumption by up to 50 percent per PON port?

Re-envision your broadband service deployments to suburban and rural markets with the most flexible, operationally efficient eco-friendly solution possible

 

Designed with flexibility and reliability in mind, the E3-2 solution dramatically reduces time to market, OpEx and maintenance costs, and power consumption by 50 percent per port.

Expanded Use Cases

  • Optimized for suburban and rural deployments
  • Doubles the XGS-PON density to 8 ports per E3-2
  • Rapid integration into the existing / new network
  • Common operational model across the network
  • Easily integrate GPON/XGS-PON in suburban or remote locations

Enables Green Broadband Networks

  • 50 percent power reduction per port
  • 90 percent power reduction vs traditional cable network
 

Taking AXOS and the E3-2 where no access system has gone before

With the utmost deployment flexibility in mind, the AXOS E3-2 is ready to help you deliver XGS based services today!

The AXOS E3-2 can now deliver XGS-based services to virtually any location, even those environmentally challenged areas that you’ve been trying to reach for years. 10G PON and XGS-PON will deliver the ability to offer greater speeds and higher bandwidth symmetric service offerings to your subscriber base. This will prove to be a powerful differentiator for you as bandwidth demands continue to climb in the markets that you serve.
