We should start with the fact that GPON is the latest generation of access network, while ITU-T G984 is the international standard used by GPON.
Standard GPON differs from other PON standards primarily in that it achieves higher throughput and performance, using larger packets of variable wavelength.
GPON offers efficient packaging of user traffic using segmentation frames and thus enables better quality for delay-sensitive services, e.g. voice transmission, video communication.
The GPON network provides the reliability and performance so much needed for business solutions and enables the delivery of residential services in a very attractive way.
ONT GPON Tytan it is a subscriber unit that is perfect for FTTH/FTTO networks and enables data, voice and video transmission in HD quality.
Tytan works on a Broadcom chipset that supports two POTS ports, four Gigabit Ethernet ports and a 802.11 n/b/g Wifi interface.
EXTRALINK TYTAN GPON/4GE/2POTS/WIFI has been tested for performance, LMS platform compatibility and hardware and software functionality.
All tests performed are in accordance with the technical standards of GPON.
Tests were performed using the following equipment:

Throughput was checked using two Extralink TYTAN GPON/4GE/2POTS/WIFI, two Mikrotik RouterBoard CCR1036-12G-4S-RM and OLT ZTE C300.
The measurements were carried out using the Mikrotik Bandwidth Test mechanism and the publicly available Speedtest throughput tester (as part of achieving actual throughput).

Practical test of the obtained bandwidth was carried out using the OOKLA Speedtest.net publicly available service.

The results are very satisfactory; the download speed obtained is 500Mbit/s at over 600Mbis/s upload, which is a very good result of the achieved throughput at this time.
Any inaccuracies in the bandwidth measurement and an underestimation of Download/Upload Speed may result from the current load on the server where the measurements were performed.

As can be seen in the above graph EXTRALINK TYTAN GPON/4GE/POTS/WIFI is distinguished by its very high throughput performance.
Practically, one of the 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports has been used in 100%, which is a very good indication of the capabilities of this device, especially since the test was conducted during hours of heavy network traffic.

The Wi-Fi settings are configured as follows: Poland, Channel 7, 20MHz bandwidth, WPA2 encryption and isolation mode for connected clients has been enabled:

The test was performed at a distance of 30m, in a place with high intensity of local wireless networks (on different channels).
Moreover, to make performance tests as reliable as possible, the router was placed behind two partition walls.
This is the result:

As mentioned earlier, WiFi performance tests were carried out under conditions as close as possible to real life: measurements were taken at a distance of 30m, in a situation where the router was behind two walls, in order to visualize the demanding conditions of using the wireless network as much as possible.
It is also worth noting that the device receiving the signal was an HP laptop equipped with Ralink RT 3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter.
Fortunately, despite the difficult conditions of using the wireless network and the large number of surrounding networks operating on similar channels, EXTRALINK TYTAN GPON/4GE/POTS/WIFI showed very good signal strength and very decent results of the obtained bandwidth (download/upload).
Every device connected to a GPON network must be compatible with network management software and with most OLTs available on the market.
EXTRALINK TYTAN GPON/4GE/POTS/WIFI is compatible with both the OLT ZTE C300 and the integrated network management system for ISPs of different sizes called LMS (LAN Management System).
The fact of automating the process of connecting the tip to the network greatly simplifies life for administrators and technicians. You no longer need to manually type the commands registering the tip to OLT - just click "Detect ONU"...

and LMS automatically finds a new device and allows you to register ONU directly.

After adding the device, LMS, thanks to SNMP protocol, allows us to access detailed data related to the connection parameters such as "Signal level received by ONU", "Signal level received by OLT", "Distance" or "PON temperature" etc.

As you can see, the LMS is very good at supporting the new tips from the EXTRALINK TYTAN GPON/4GE/2POTS/WIFI, which greatly simplifies the work of administrators and installers.
This is a very helpful solution, because in earlier versions of the LMS, unfortunately, there was no such support and you had to register each tip manually on OLT ZTE C300 as follows:

The ONU registration flows very conveniently and intuitively through LMS and directly from OLT. On the client terminal EXTRALINK TYTAN after correct configuration of WAN interface we can see the following information:

Interface of the EXTRALINK TYTAN GPON/4GE/2POTS/WIFI is very clear and the individual configuration options are arranged in a very intuitive way.
The only thing that requires attention is the "Port Binding" option which here is called "Interface Grouping".
In summary, EXTRALINK TYTAN GPON/4GE/2POTS/WIFI, thanks to its compatibility with the LMS system, very high data transfer capacity both via cable and wireless and excellent price is the ideal client device for FTTH/FTTO networks.
