Verizon has announced that it’s using optical network terminals (ONTs) to deploy at FiOS installations in apartment complexes. The ONT occupies minimum amount of space in an apartment is like a basic home router and can be placed under desks or on shelves to install Verizon FiOS Internet and FiOS TV services.
One of the two new devices, the Alcatel-Lucent I-21 1M-K indoor ONT, measures just 1-1/4 inches high, 8-1/2 inches wide and 5-1/2 inches deep. The other device, the Motorola ONT 1000 GTI indoor ONT, is slightly larger. The two versions of the smaller ONTs are being deployed in parts of the New York, Southern California and Tampa Bay markets.
Eric Cevis, vice president of Verizon Enhanced Communities said “Space is a precious commodity in apartment buildings, and these new, smaller ONTs were specifically designed with that in mind. We’ve downsized the equipment and minimized the hassles for property owners, making FiOS an even more attractive service offering for residents of multi-dwelling units.”
Eric Cevis also said “Building owners and residents alike will appreciate the simplicity these new ONTs bring to the installation and use of FiOS services. By running fiber from the point of entry to the new, smaller ONTs, installers can make fewer runs of coaxial and computer cables. As a result, the whole installation experience will be cleaner and simpler for the customers.”
