Open-ONT Implementation for Fiber-To-The-Home

Recently, the deployment of optical fiber-based technology with the concept of triple-play services has become public interest. The interest increasing has not been in line with network equipment such as Optical Network Terminal (ONT) devices by service providers. This research aims to overcome the above problem by implementing an open-ONT system where the ONT device can be connected or compatible with different Optical Line Terminal (OLT) types and brands. Open-ONT system implementation was carried out on a customer network in the Sokaraja area, with five chosen randomly. The performance test used the QoS parameter to access three web addresses. Based on the test results, the quality of optical access network services using open-ONT obtained the throughput of about 1.395 Mbps, the delay about 19.45 ms, jitter about 0.042 ms, and packet loss about 4.57%. These found proved that the implementation of Open-ONT in the Sokaraja area can meet the access network's standard.
