HALNy HL-1B-US GPON ONU 2.5GbE Router Bridge SC/APC

The HALNy HL-1B is a GPON ONU designed for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments, operating in both HGU (Router/NAT) and SFU (Bridge) modes to suit a wide range of service provider architectures. Its single 2.5GbE LAN port paired with a GPON B+ WAN interface—delivering 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream—positions it as a forward-looking access device capable of supporting multi-gigabit subscriber tiers without costly infrastructure overhauls. A rich Layer 3 and Layer 2 feature set, including NAT, PPPoE, DHCP, VLAN tagging, and IGMP proxy, gives network operators granular control over traffic management and service segmentation. Provisioning via TR-069, DHCP XML, and OMCI streamlines mass deployment and ongoing lifecycle management across large subscriber bases. Proven interoperability with Nokia, Huawei, ZTE, Calix, and DASAN OLTs means the HL-1B integrates cleanly into heterogeneous network environments, reducing integration risk and accelerating time-to-service for both residential broadband and small-to-medium business connectivity.

Key features & benefits

• Multi-Gigabit GPON WAN Interface — Compliant with ITU-T G.984.x and G.988, the GPON B+ port (SC/APC connector) delivers 2.488 Gbps downstream and 1.244 Gbps upstream, providing the raw throughput headroom required for demanding residential and business broadband tiers.
• 2.5GbE LAN Port with Auto-Sensing — A single RJ45 LAN port with auto-sensing and MDI/MDI-X support operates at 2.5 Gbps, eliminating the traditional bottleneck between the fiber WAN and the customer's local network equipment.
• Dual Deployment Modes: HGU and SFU — The HL-1B operates in HGU (Router/NAT) mode for full Layer 3 gateway functionality or SFU (Bridge) mode for transparent Layer 2 pass-through, giving service providers the flexibility to match the device role to their network architecture without swapping hardware.
• Comprehensive Layer 3 Routing and Security — Built-in support for NAT, PAT, PPPoE, DHCP Server/Client/Relay, IGMP Proxy, integrated firewall, and VPN pass-through delivers the routing and security capabilities expected of an enterprise-grade gateway in a compact ONU form factor.
• Advanced Layer 2 VLAN and Multicast Features — IEEE 802.1q VLAN tagging and multicast snooping enable service providers to implement triple-play service separation and efficient multicast distribution without additional CPE or middleware.
• Multivendor OLT Interoperability — Verified compatibility with Nokia, Huawei, ZTE, Calix, and DASAN OLTs allows the HL-1B to be introduced into existing GPON plant without requiring OLT upgrades or vendor lock-in, protecting prior infrastructure investments.
• Flexible Remote Provisioning and Management — Support for TR-069, DHCP XML, and OMCI enables centralized, automated provisioning and configuration management, reducing truck rolls and accelerating subscriber activation at scale.
• SIP Telephony Support — Integrated SIP protocol support with DTMF and dial plan capability allows service providers to deliver VoIP services over the same fiber connection, simplifying CPE consolidation for bundled service offerings.
• AES Encryption and Forward Error Correction — AES encryption and FEC compliance with ITU-T G.984.x/G.988 standards protect subscriber data in transit and maintain link integrity across varying fiber plant conditions.
• Low-Power Operation — With power consumption below 10W from a 12V DC, 1A supply, the HL-1B keeps operating costs and heat load minimal—a practical advantage when deploying at scale across thousands of subscriber premises.
