Solution Architecture

Each CX202P-24S-M-H switch provides 24 single 10G optical ports, and by adjusting the optical distribution network (ODN) split ratio—8, 16, or 32 splits per port—it supports progressively larger numbers of APs.

  • Recommended split ratio: 2.5G → 1:8
  • Recommended split ratio: 10G → 1:32

Why Choose Asterfusion?

No Separate OLT Device Needed

Unlike traditional solutions that require standalone OLT equipment, Asterfusion’s all-optical solution integrates the OLT function directly into our CX206P Leaf switches using GPON ONU Stick modules.

Unified Wireless & Wired Network Management

OpenWiFi-based Asteria Network Controller combines Enterprise SONiC to provide centralized management of both wired and wireless networks. It supports zero-touch provisioning, automatic topology discovery, real-time multi-dimensional monitoring of APs and clients, custom scripting, and remote operations – all designed to streamline deployment and ongoing maintenance

Massive Scalability for Large Deployments

Each CX206P Leaf switch offers 48x 10G SFP+ ports. Each port connects to a passive Optical Distribution Network (ODN) that can split signals to 8, 16, or 32 APs. This means a single Leaf switch can support up to 1,500+ APs, and a cluster of switches can scale to tens of thousands of APs, meeting the demands of large campuses and enterprises.

Open and Flexible Ecosystem

The Asteria network controller supports third-party APs that are compliant with OpenWiFi standards, allowing easy integration and management of multi-vendor wireless devices. This flexibility avoids vendor lock-in and future-proofs your network.
