GPD Cube is a dual GPON/XGS-PON analyser that introduces a new work paradigm for FTTH network diagnostics. Combining advanced protocol analysis with integrated 5G connectivity, it enables remote, autonomous operation without requiring on-site experts or IT integration. A non-specialized operator can deploy the unit, while engineers access captures and perform analysis remotely via the cloud. The system includes remote power control of ONTs and optical switching capabilities to trigger synchronization and test scenarios. Captured data is automatically uploaded without manual intervention, allowing faster troubleshooting, reduced operational costs, and more efficient use of expert resources in complex PON environments.
GPD Cube allows operators to move the equipment instead of moving expert personnel.
Unlike traditional portable analysers, GPD Cube introduces a new operational paradigm by integrating processing, connectivity, and automation into a single autonomous platform. With embedded computing and native 5G connectivity, it enables remote troubleshooting, automated data collection, and cloud-based analysis without requiring on-site expert intervention or IT integration.
A non-specialized operator can deploy the unit, while engineers remotely access captures, control test scenarios, and perform advanced diagnostics. GPD Cube is designed for operators, laboratories, and vendors seeking efficient, scalable, and remote PON network analysis.
