Connect digital television MGTS. Rostelecom GPON technology - tariffs and settings

Very often, a subscriber comes to the provider's office in order to comprehensively connect the Internet and cable television. GPON technology can be an excellent option. But does everyone know what it is and on what principle it works?

Of course, many have heard rave reviews from neighbors, but sometimes this is not enough to make a decision. The most interesting thing begins when the contract for the supply of services has already been signed and installers come to the subscriber to install the equipment.

Many customers are surprised that it is necessary to drill a wall, because they thought about wireless technology. In fact, to provide services in the apartment, you will need to install: - an optical terminal; - STB set-top boxes (for interactive television); - ONT (for a phone, by the way, it will not work without electricity).

Despite the impressive set of equipment, GPON Internet is worth it because you get a full range of services of the highest quality at a reasonable price.

What is GPON? The needs of customers and the requirements for the quality of the Internet connection service are growing every day. So the GPON technology was developed, which can satisfy them as much as possible. In the abbreviation PON stands for passive optical networks, and G stands for gigabit. Passivity lies in the fact that no active equipment is used on the way from the PBX to the subscriber's home, that is, the fiber optic cable is pulled directly. This provides high speed data transfer and the ability to transmit multiple services at once.

Optical fiber should not have a large length around the apartment, because the cable itself is quite fragile and does not like bends. In addition, the risk of mechanical damage is also high, and restoration will be very expensive.

ONT type equipment should be mounted directly near the inlet drilled by the provider's installers. The internal wiring between devices is done using a simple copper cable called "twisted pair". After the installation is completed, the operability of all access points should be checked, and only after that an agreement is signed with the provider.

Pros of GPON I would like to note right away that GPON has much more pluses than minuses, so let's look at the most basic of them: - optical fiber is routed directly to an apartment or house, which guarantees high speed and quality of services; - since there is no intermediate volatile equipment, such as switches installed in attics or basements, then in case of a power outage you can still use the Internet service, of course, if the battery of a tablet or laptop keeps charging for a long time; - there is no electrical voltage in the optical fiber, so it is not afraid of moisture (but, of course, you should not fill it with water), and the user will never receive an electric shock.

Cons of GPON. It would be fair to mention the disadvantages of GPON technology, which, of course, are present. They are more of a human factor than a technological one: - optical fiber is not recommended to be laid in baseboards, and indeed spread around the apartment, if the cable bend is very large, then the quality of the service will drop significantly, which is unlikely to please the subscriber; - optical fiber can attract vandals, not cable thieves, but vandals who damage wiring for fun, without earning anything on it; - optical fiber is very fond of pets, a cat, a parrot, a dog or a rabbit, they can easily gnaw through the cable, so when wiring, try to place it in a place inaccessible to them.

We really hope that the information provided will help you make the right decision regarding connecting to GPON. Of course, if you use the Internet once a day, and even then you only watch the news, then high speed may not be needed. The situation is quite different for gamers or fans of watching a movie in high quality. In the first case, good ping is important, and in the second, the speed of downloading movies. All this GPON will easily provide!

Connection using GPON technology in St. Petersburg produces

It is difficult to imagine the life of a modern person without the Internet, and over the years, consumers of telecommunications services want to have a better high-speed connection. The first people in the West thought about how to offer the population a truly high-quality Internet that can satisfy even the most demanding customers. While in Russia many people still had a vague idea of what the "world wide web" was, in England they were already talking about gigabit PON technology, or optical passive networks. In the Russian Federation, Rostelecom was engaged in the implementation of GPON, the first to offer to connect three services at once using this innovative technology - the Internet, interactive television and telephone.

After talking with neighbors and acquaintances who have appreciated the quality of Rostelecom's GPON technology, many do not even know what they will have to deal with. Therefore, we will briefly describe what this technology is and what advantages it has. First of all, we note that this technology is passive, and in this case it means that there is no additional active equipment on the path of the Internet optical line from the service provider to the client.

Of course, it cannot be said that there are no barriers at all, since the direct laying of an expensive cable is very expensive, just in some places the signal is divided. For this, a special device is used - a splitter, or an optical splitter, which divides the Rostelecom fiber into several lines. It remains unclear how such a long-awaited Internet will get to the end user, and what equipment is used for this.

Optical fiber equipment

To convert the signal into an Ethernet interface that we can understand, another unique device is used - ONT, or optical terminal. Devices of this type are presented in a wide range, and it can be either a standard device with two Ethernet ports and one PON port, or a full-fledged Rostelecom GPON router, which has a number of advantages in the form of:

four gigabit Ethernet ports;

Important! The zero and first ports are used exclusively for high-speed Internet connection, and ports 3 and 4 are used to organize the viewing of IP-television.

two connectors for IP-telephony are provided;
it is possible to connect interactive IPTV;
Rostelecom's GPON signal is distributed via Wi-Fi (802.11n standard with a bandwidth of up to 300 megabits per second).

Users of the "world wide web" with a speed of 100 Mbps will no longer be surprised. With the use of Rostelecom's GPON equipment, the possibilities of the Internet will soon be limited to gigabytes of information received per second. To support such high speeds, and especially when it comes to long distances of information transfer, only an optical cable can. Moreover, Rostelecom's optics do not enter the apartment through a copper cable, as is the case with the FTTH bandwidth, but by dividing the signal using a special optical splitter. After installing the modem, however, you will encounter the problem of configuring it. It is not difficult to do this, using our advice.

Modem setup

The equipment used by the telecommunications service provider is presented in a wide variety, but the first thing you will have to face in order to organize a high-quality fiber connection and Rostelecom connection is the choice of a modem. Experts assure that one of the advantages of GPON technology is its versatility, and devices of any equipment manufacturer of this series will work correctly in a fiber optic system. Thus, the need to use rare expensive equipment is eliminated, which can significantly reduce Internet costs. Anyone can configure a router for GPON from Rostelecom by following a certain sequence of actions.

As a rule, setting up equipment does not require special knowledge. At the same time, you don’t even have to configure the basic functions of the router, since the provider has already done this for you, but in case you bought the equipment at the Rostelecom office. If you bought the router yourself, you will have to search the Internet for detailed instructions on setting up the device, since the procedure differs depending on the manufacturer and model. You can check the modem settings in the web configuration, and for the RTK G PON ONT RFT620 ONT device, which is most often used by the RTK, it looks like this:

in the address bar, enter the address 192.168.1.254;
in the window that opens, enter your data: username and password;
as for the network settings, you can only familiarize yourself with them, and you should not change the standard settings from the provider;
then turn on the Wi-Fi module in the network;
change security settings;
set static or dynamic IP addresses.

Difficulties may arise if you use some models of routers with the ability to distribute Wi-Fi, for which you will have to configure the wireless network configuration. To set up a PPPoE connection, you will be prompted to enter the login and password provided when concluding the contract for the supply of services. Usually this does not take much time and everything happens without problems, but in some cases, without the intervention of the support service, it is necessary.

Technology Benefits and Possible Speeds

The fact that the fiber-optic Internet provider Rostelecom has simply “outstanding” performance in terms of speed is out of the question - it's hard to believe, but 1 Gbit / second is far from the limit. As for other advantages of "optics", the following deserves special attention:

It is much easier to install fiber optic lines, which the installers have already appreciated - unlike old cables, the fiber optic in the apartment is no thicker than a ballpoint pen, and the cable is attached with self-adhesive clips that do not spoil the appearance of the room and can be easily removed if necessary.

Remember! Despite the elasticity and strength, experts do not recommend making a bend at an angle of 90 °, and this can be considered a disadvantage of the system. In the corners, a bend with a radius of 25-50 millimeters is allowed.

The fiber optic cable has a high degree of electrical safety, there is a risk of suffering from laser radiation, but this can be avoided without looking into the optical socket connector.
The GPON modem from Rostelecom is also a good energy saving, since the device is powered by a 12-volt element, and the cost of lighting is about 30 rubles. per month.
Versatility, since now you can enjoy high-quality digital fiber optic television, use the Internet and Rostelecom phone, and at the same time the apartment will not be cluttered with numerous cables and sockets.

Unfortunately, there is no eternal equipment and impeccable technologies, no one is immune from problems with fiber optic lines. The first thing you should pay attention to if the signal is lost is connecting the terminal. Try to connect the cable directly, and if there is no power, you need to contact the specialists. You can find out about the reasons for the disconnection and how to solve any problem in the technical service. To facilitate the solution of many technical issues and to receive timely information support, Rostelecom specialists suggest creating a personal account on the service provider's website. In it, you can find out the availability of funds in the account, change the tariff and pay for services.

GPON Internet Tariffs

Prices are different for each region!

For many users, the issue of the cost of telecommunications services is far from being idle, and in this regard, the tariffs for fiber from Rostelecom can be called "democratic", given the range of services offered. The user, by the way, can choose the service himself: home Internet, television, landline or mobile phone, terminal rental, while you can order a separate service, or you can combine packages. Tariffs, in fact, depend on the range of offers, and, according to user reviews, they are affordable today. It is also worth remembering that prices for each region may differ, and on the official website of the RTC you can always get acquainted with promotions and great deals.

Equipment The ONT modem required for connection is installed in the user's apartment, which allows connecting additional services remotely. The modem already has built-in Wi-Fi. The ONT connection and the equipment itself are completely free for users.

How GPON Works

Providing Internet access using GPON technology involves replacing obsolete copper cables with more advanced fiber optic cables with significantly higher bandwidth. The signal on such a cable passes by means of a light, and not an electrical impulse. The light pulse travels along the glass fiber, providing a more reliable signal and high speed at low power consumption.

GPON technology provides for laying fiber optic cable directly to the subscriber's apartment, and not to the entire building, which guarantees a constant speed of Internet access and eliminates failures due to network overload. To connect to GPON technology, a subscriber is provided with a free modem - ONT (Optical Network Terminal), thanks to which all services are subsequently connected remotely and in one device. The modem has built-in Wi-Fi, over the network of which you can work wirelessly from any device.

Development prospects

Today, we can say with confidence that GPON technology not only keeps up with the times, but also is ahead of it in many ways, expanding the boundaries of what is possible. The new standard of speeds will allow constantly replenishing the package of services provided. Video surveillance, telemetry, burglar alarms and other services become available to subscribers using GPON technology. Technology resources allow us to talk about the prospects for the development and implementation of many other services for a better quality of life.
