I know of a well-known vendor coming out with a new OLT that 
supports both typical GPON access, as well as Active-E 
access, and with IP routing capabilities.

It hasn't yet hit the shelves, but for anyone with an ounce 
of interest in FTTH, you will hear about it soon.

So yes, in the past it has been hit & miss, but I think 
there are some vendors who are now seriously pushing a box 
that is multi-lingual, i.e., supports GPON, Active-E, IP and 
MPLS.

Mark.
