What is HN8546X6 ?

​I purchased hadware devices which is called HN8546X6. The manufacturer is Huawei in China. I installed in my house and the connection of internet is much faster than before. It was surprised me. Out of curiousity, I checked the working principle of this devices. It is an ONT in internet network. ONT stands for Optical Network Terminal. It is the device that communicates with your Internet service provider (ISP) on a fiber-optic Internet network.

An ONT device is necessary for your home network ​only if​ you have fiber installed. This is because, with fiber-optic Internet, you cannot use any modem or router. You must have an ONT or OLT and a fiber router.

In your fiber network, the ONT is the modem. The ONT sends infrared light pulses to communicate with your ISP. This is how you get an Internet connection in your home on a fiber-optic network. With the fiber router, you can then get and distribute a Wi-Fi signal to your devices.

The speed is so fast as this type of ONT has 4*GE+1*POTS+2*USB+2.4G/5G 802.11ax WIFI, 5dBi. This product performance is stronger than other types.
