Optical Transport Network (OTN) Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) refers to hardware devices installed at a customer's location to facilitate the interface between the optical transport network and the customer’s internal systems. These devices manage data traffic, convert optical signals into electrical signals, and ensure efficient and secure transmission over optical networks.

The primary types of OTN CPE include Optical Network Terminals (ONTs), Passive Optical Network (PON) equipment, Optical Line Terminals (OLTs), routers, and switches. Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) are devices that convert optical signals from a fiber optic network into electrical signals, enabling high-speed internet and communication services. OTN CPE utilizes various technologies, such as Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON), Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON), Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Network (WDM PON), and 10-Gigabit Passive Optical Network (XG-PON). Deployment options include indoor, outdoor, and hybrid CPE. These devices are used in multiple applications, including Internet access, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, video streaming services, and smart home applications, catering to end users such as residential customers, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), large enterprises, and telecommunication service providers.
