NEC's end-to-end FTTx solution, the ME2000 GE-PON Series, is based on gigabit Ethernet passive optical network (GEPON) technology. Two optical line terminal (OLT) models and several optical network unit (ONU) models are available for this system, which is triple-play ready for IPTV and VoIP.

The ME2000 GE-PON Series optical line terminal (OLT) provides a direct optical interface to the Ethernet/IP network core.
Together with NEC's optical network unit (ONU), it completes the end-to-end FTTx with up to 1Gbps of bandwidth to residential and business customers. Combining the economic benefits of Ethernet passive optical network (GEPON) with built-in L2/L3 switching and routing functionalities, the ME2000 GE-PON Series is the ideal carrier class optical access and transport platform for FTTB/H/C.
The ME2000 GE-PON Series supports up to 44 OLT EPON interfaces, each of which delivers 1Gbps of shared bandwidth for up to 32 subscribers, serving a maximum of 1,408 GEPON subscribers from a 9U chassis. High subscriber density combined with the operational cost savings of GEPON technology makes this series a compelling alternative to legacy, last-mile access solutions. It supports a flexible concentration ratio between OLT and GE uplink modules, thus providing a wide variety of service deployment options.
NEC QoS features allow operators to oversubscribe bandwidth while protecting delay-sensitive traffic based on individualized service level agreements (SLA). Dynamic bandwidth allocation enables operators to bill bandwidth in 1Mbps increments. For video services, multicast handling with IGMP proxying and snooping ensures efficient utilization of the network infrastructure
Powerful OAM functions enable remote diagnostics, flexible provisioning, and reconfiguration of the ME2200 GE-PON Series platform.
