In addition, it is also essential that you know how to enable and authorize a Wi-Fi ONU, which connects directly with OLTs. Only in this way, it is possible to extract the maximum potential from each of these equipments.
And it is precisely because of these main issues that we have prepared the following article, in which you will be able to check what OLT is, in addition to activating ONU Wi-Fi in a practical way, using the best tools on the market. To find out everything you need to know about the subject, as well as other important information, read on!
What is an OLT?
The acronym, which stands for Optical Line Terminal, is responsible for connecting fiber optic equipment to an xPON-type network. It supports connection to delivery platforms whether IP or TDM, which is why they are so popular. The OLT's role is to signal division, so that they can reach their destination with great quality, directly influencing speed.
It is also important to know that an OLT can be of two types: in chassis or the calls pizza box🇧🇷 At pizza box are closed, and therefore, do not usually allow changes to be made, which makes their use more limited.
In the case of chassis, they are more versatile, as allow the addition of new components🇧🇷 However, they are more expensive, so they are only worth covering areas with higher population density.
Did you know that Anlix is developing an OLT management solution that will allow the activation of Wi-Fi ONUs of different brands and models in a practical and fast way? through the FlashOLT, you will be able to do all the necessary procedures in a matter of minutes, in addition to monitoring essential statistics of your OLT.

And what is the UN within this context?
Before we talk about activation, it is very important to understand what is a UN, and how it can help you. The acronym stands for Optical Network Unit, and serves, in short, to ensure that the optical signal is transformed into an electrical one, leading to fiber optic broadband access to close or exact locations of homes and businesses.
However, it is important to understand the difference between ONU and ONT (Optical NetworkTerminal). Also known as UN Wi-Fi, it can even replace the use of a router. That is, through ONT, it is possible to connect to the internet directly, without the need for a Wi-Fi router. The ONUs without Wi-Fi, which we mentioned above, require the joint presence of a router to work on multiple devices.
How to make UN authorization by FlashOLT?
FlashOLT is the platform that Anlix is developing to:
- Release and activation of ONUs through a single web interface or application;
