OLT, GPON and access node spares across manufacturers

Nokia line cards use four-letter codes with a revision letter — NGLT-A, FGLT-B, FWLT-C — where the first letters give the technology: NGLT and FGLT are GPON, FWLT is XGS-PON, NELT is point-to-point Ethernet. FANT-F and FANT-G are the network termination cards that control the shelf and carry the uplink. Nokia ONTs use a G- prefix for GPON and XS- for XGS-PON, followed by port count and a W where Wi-Fi is included. FiberHome cards use codes such as GC8B and GCOB for GPON and HSWA for the core switch; AN5506 and HG6xxx are its ONT families.

State the shelf — FX-4, FX-8 or FX-16 for Nokia; AN5516-01, -04 or -06 for FiberHome — and the software release, because both platforms enforce card and release dependencies. Give the card code with its revision letter exactly as printed. For ONTs give the exact model, quantity and destination country. Condition is stated per quotation — new, new-surplus or refurbished — and where a destination does not admit used network equipment (Algeria is the usual example) we quote new. Hardware only: software licensing remains between the buyer and the manufacturer. Destination type approval and import permits (CST/SABER, TDRA, ICASA, CA, CMC, ARPCE) are the buyer's responsibility and we will say so on the quotation.

Nokia 7360 ISAM FX remains current, with earlier card revisions moving to surplus supply. FiberHome hardware is supplied new or refurbished; note that FiberHome has been on the US Entity List since 2020, which does not restrict resale of its products but does lead some operators and tenders to exclude the brand — tell us if that applies to you and we will quote Nokia or Huawei equivalents instead.
