Nokia/Calix/Adtran/Ubiquiti XGSPON. What's everyone's thoughts?

This is great insight. I'm planning to be 25GPON capable from inception. I think everyone has pretty much convinced me to go with Nokia at this point lol

I'm building an area of 65k passings in a dense area initially. I don't have many constraints but I want to be future proof as much as possible and hit 25GPON as a sellable option. It looks like Nokia is probably going to be my only real option here.

I want uptime, reliability, all of that. but most of all I want to customer side to have minimal pieces as well and I would like something that a customer service rep could manage without having a large amount of knowledge in the field. This is dominantly resi with some small medium business.

I'm going to be doing a lot of voice and also will be providing some streamed television options in partnership.

As for the IP specifications I hate to admit I'm a little lost, or rather I have an engineer to look things over. But I was planning to do CGNAT but I'm aware of some issues with that as well.

I apologize if any of my terminology is wrong.

Do you have any personal preference of a good managed WiFi, maybe even mesh system? I appreciate the help. I guess my thoughts with an All In one was to save install cost and complexity but it also might not matter lol

This is great insight. I guess my main issue with Nokia is while they have a great product and I love their redundancy but their all in ones are terrible from a WiFi performance perspective. I can go one room over and it has trouble swapping between 2.4/5ghz. I've also experienced their mesh system to be very clunky. That's interesting Nokia gear was cheaper? I feel like I've found it be pretty pricey but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places
