What Is the HIOSO HA7304GF?
The HA7304GF is installed at the service-provider side of a GPON network and controls subscriber ONUs or ONTs through a passive fibre distribution system.
| Network Component | Function |
|---|---|
| GPON OLT | Controls and manages subscriber ONUs |
| GPON SFP | Provides PON optical transmission |
| ODF | Terminates feeder fibres |
| PLC Splitter | Divides the GPON signal |
| Feeder Fibre | Carries optical traffic |
| Fibre Closure | Protects fibre splices |
| FAT Box | Distributes subscriber connections |
| FTTH Drop Cable | Connects customer premises |
| ONU / ONT | Terminates subscriber service |
| Router | Provides LAN and Wi-Fi |
HIOSO positions the HA7304GF for Triple-Play, VPN, IP camera, enterprise LAN and ICT applications, in addition to conventional FTTH access.
Four GPON PON Ports
The HA7304GF provides four independent GPON PON interfaces.
| PON Port | Maximum ONU Positions |
|---|---|
| PON 1 | 128 |
| PON 2 | 128 |
| PON 3 | 128 |
| PON 4 | 128 |
| Maximum Total | 512 ONUs |
HIOSO explicitly states that each PON port supports up to 128 ONUs and the complete chassis supports up to 512 ONUs.
Maximum Split Ratio
The maximum specified optical split ratio is 1:128 per GPON port.
| Split Ratio | ONUs per PON | 4-Port Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1:8 | 8 | 32 |
| 1:16 | 16 | 64 |
| 1:32 | 32 | 128 |
| 1:64 | 64 | 256 |
| 1:128 | 128 | 512 |
The maximum 1:128 design should only be used where the optical budget and subscriber bandwidth requirements allow it.
1:64 vs 1:128 Splitting
| Feature | 1:64 | 1:128 |
|---|---|---|
| Subscribers per PON | 64 | 128 |
| Total Across 4 Ports | 256 | 512 |
| Splitter Loss | Lower | Higher |
| Optical Margin | Better | Lower |
| Bandwidth Sharing | Fewer Subscribers | More Subscribers |
| Expansion Capacity | High | Very High |
For many FTTH networks, 1:16, 1:32 or 1:64 can provide stronger optical margin than immediately using the maximum split.
Class C+ GPON Optics
The HA7304GF is specified with Class C+ GPON SFP ports.
HIOSO publishes the following optical figures for the PON interface:
| Optical Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Optical Class | C+ |
| Transmit Optical Power | +3 to +7 dBm |
| Receiver Sensitivity | ≤ -30 dBm |
| Saturation Optical Power | Approx. -12 dBm |
| Maximum Distance | 20 km |
| Maximum Split | 1:128 |
These specifications give the HA7304GF sufficient optical budget for high-density GPON deployments when the complete ODN is properly engineered.
GPON Transmission Distance
The HA7304GF supports fibre transmission distances of up to 20 km.
Actual usable distance depends on:
Fibre attenuation
PLC splitter loss
Fusion splice losses
Adapter and connector losses
Patch cord loss
ONU receiver sensitivity
Optical safety margin
A proper optical power-budget calculation should always be completed before installation.
GPON Standard Support
The HA7304GF complies with ITU-T G.984.x and G.988 GPON standards.
These standards define GPON transmission, management and ONU interoperability requirements.
GPON Data Rates
HIOSO's product table lists the GPON line rates in a reversed label order, while standard GPON operation uses approximately:
| Direction | Standard GPON Line Rate |
|---|---|
| Downstream | 2.488 Gbps |
| Upstream | 1.244 Gbps |
For network planning, these are the conventional ITU-T GPON rates.
Four Uplink Interfaces
The HA7304GF provides:
| Uplink Interface | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Gigabit Copper Ethernet | 2 |
| GE SFP / 10GE SFP+ | 2 |
| Total Uplink Interfaces | 4 |
HIOSO specifies 2 × GE copper plus 2 × GE SFP / 10GE SFP+ auto-detection uplinks.
10G SFP+ Uplink Support
The optical uplink ports can operate as 10 Gigabit SFP+ interfaces, giving the HA7304GF more upstream capacity than OLTs limited to Gigabit uplinks.
They can connect to:
MikroTik core routers
Aggregation switches
ISP backbone equipment
Data-centre switches
Redundant fibre uplinks
This is particularly useful as the subscriber base grows.
Layer 3 Routing
The HA7304GF includes several Layer 3 functions.
| Routing Feature | Support |
|---|---|
| Static Route | Yes |
| RIP v1/v2 | Yes |
| OSPF v2 | Yes |
| ARP Proxy | Yes |
HIOSO explicitly lists these routing functions in the technical specification.
VLAN Support
The HA7304GF supports 4096 VLANs and includes:
Port VLAN
Protocol VLAN
Tagged and untagged VLANs
VLAN transmission
QinQ
This allows an ISP to separate:
| VLAN Application | Example |
|---|---|
| Residential Internet | Home subscribers |
| Business Internet | Corporate users |
| Management VLAN | OLT and ONU administration |
| CCTV VLAN | IP surveillance |
| IPTV VLAN | Multicast video |
| Voice VLAN | VoIP services |
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation
The HA7304GF supports Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA).
DBA helps dynamically distribute upstream GPON bandwidth among connected subscriber ONUs according to their traffic requirements.
QoS
The OLT supports QoS based on:
Port
VLAN ID
TOS
MAC address
This is useful for prioritizing:
Business traffic
IPTV
VoIP
CCTV
Residential broadband
Network management traffic
ONU Auto Discovery and Configuration
The HA7304GF supports:
ONU auto-discovery
Link detection
Automatic ONT discovery
Automatic configuration
Remote software upgrades
These features simplify customer onboarding because subscriber devices can be identified and managed centrally.
Third-Party ONU Compatibility
HIOSO states that the HA7304GF supports other-brand GPON and XPON ONUs.
However, for large deployments it is still advisable to test ONU interoperability before purchasing subscriber devices in bulk.
IGMP and Multicast
The HA7304GF supports:
IGMP Snooping
IGMP Proxy
Up to 256 IP multicast groups
These features are useful for multicast applications such as IPTV.
DHCP Snooping
DHCP Snooping is included among the HA7304GF security and access-management functions.
It can help prevent unauthorized DHCP servers from disrupting the subscriber network.

https://youtu.be/ciCik6HK-KA
The HIOSO HA7304GF 4-Port GPON OLT offers a strong balance between compact size and subscriber capacity. Its four PON ports can support up to 128 ONUs each, providing a total system capacity of up to 512 ONUs while allowing an ISP to divide subscribers across four independent fibre distribution branches.
Its uplink design is particularly useful for growing networks. Two Gigabit copper ports and two GE/10GE optical ports provide flexible connections to core routers and aggregation switches, while Layer 3 static routing, RIP and OSPF allow the OLT to participate in more advanced network architectures.
For a complete GPON deployment, Fiber Optics Kenya can supply the HA7304GF together with compatible GPON/XPON ONUs, Class C+ PON optics, PLC splitters, ODFs, FAT boxes, fibre closures, ADSS and armoured fibre cables, patch cords, fusion-splicing equipment and fibre testing tools.
