Multi-ONU Emulator

The Multi-ONU Emulator introduces a new revolutionary approach for comprehensive testing of an OLT. It enhances the testing with repeatable test scenarios and functionalities that cannot be tested in any other way, including the OLT’s ability to handle various ONU models and configurations, error and defect conditions, alarms and traffic loads.

The Multi-ONU Emulator emulates a full PON with hundreds of ONUs, thus enhancing the test coverage, while significantly simplifying the test setups and providing savings in space, cost and power consumption.

Testing Solution for Virtualized OLTs

A virtualized OLT allows multiple versions and “flavors” of OMCI to run in parallel on the PON to overcome interoperability issues.

The Multi-ONU Emulator addresses the challenge of testing this functionality by allowing each of the emulated ONUs to have its own OMCI configuration file, making it a valuable tool for testing a virtualized OLT.

Co-existence with GPON and XGS-PON ONUs

Real ONUs can be connected in parallel with the Multi-ONU Emulator to provide full testing coverage, including end-to-end traffic flow and services at the subscriber side.

When testing a combo OLT, both GPON and XGS-PON ONUs may be used.

The Multi-ONU Emulator significantly reduces the number of ONUs that are needed for the testing, thus simplifying the test setup, saving space and reducing power consumption.
