What Is the HIOSO HA7304 EPON OLT?
The HA7304 is the central active device used on the service-provider side of an EPON network.
It communicates with multiple subscriber ONUs or ONTs over a passive fibre distribution system.
| Network Component | Function |
|---|---|
| OLT | Controls and manages the EPON network |
| PON SFP | Provides optical connection from OLT |
| Feeder Fibre | Carries EPON optical signal |
| PLC Splitter | Splits one PON connection |
| Distribution Fibre | Carries signal toward subscribers |
| ONU / ONT | Terminates fibre at customer premises |
| Router / Wi-Fi | Provides local subscriber connectivity |
The HA7304 can work with multiple ONU models and is designed to establish passive optical networks for broadband, IPTV and voice services.
What Does EPON Mean?
EPON stands for Ethernet Passive Optical Network.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| EPON | Ethernet Passive Optical Network |
| OLT | Optical Line Terminal |
| ONU | Optical Network Unit |
| ONT | Optical Network Terminal |
| PON | Passive Optical Network |
| ODN | Optical Distribution Network |
| FTTH | Fibre to the Home |
| FTTB | Fibre to the Building |
| FTTO | Fibre to the Office |
EPON uses Ethernet technology over passive optical fibre infrastructure, allowing multiple subscribers to share one OLT PON interface through optical splitters.
4 EPON PON Ports
The HA7304 includes four SFP-based PON interfaces.
| PON Port | Maximum Theoretical ONU Count at 1:64 |
|---|---|
| PON 1 | 64 |
| PON 2 | 64 |
| PON 3 | 64 |
| PON 4 | 64 |
| Maximum Total | 256 ONUs |
HiOSO specifies support for up to 64 ONUs per PON port and up to 256 ONUs across the complete HA7304 chassis.
Actual subscriber design should also account for optical power budget, splitter losses, fibre distance and service bandwidth requirements.
PX20++ PON SFP Modules
This package includes four PX20++ EPON optical modules, one for each PON interface.
| Feature | PX20++ Function |
|---|---|
| Module Type | EPON OLT SFP |
| Quantity | 4 |
| Installation | HA7304 PON SFP Slots |
| OLT TX Wavelength | 1490 nm |
| OLT RX Wavelength | 1310 nm |
| Purpose | Connects OLT to passive optical network |
| Network Type | EPON |
The user-provided product video specifically presents the HA7304 together with PX20-series optical modules.
EPON Operating Wavelengths
| Direction | Wavelength |
|---|---|
| OLT to ONU – Downstream | 1490 nm |
| ONU to OLT – Upstream | 1310 nm |
HiOSO specifies 1490 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive for the HA7304.
Optical Power Specifications
| Optical Parameter | Typical Specification |
|---|---|
| OLT Transmit Power | +2.5 to +7 dBm |
| Receiving Sensitivity | Around -30 dBm |
| Maximum Distance | Up to 20 km |
| Maximum Split Ratio | 1:64 |
These values come from HA7304 technical specifications.
1:64 Split Ratio
Each PON interface can theoretically support a 1:64 optical split.
A single OLT PON port can therefore distribute service through:
| Splitter Design | Subscriber Outputs |
|---|---|
| 1x2 | 2 |
| 1x4 | 4 |
| 1x8 | 8 |
| 1x16 | 16 |
| 1x32 | 32 |
| 1x64 | 64 |
A 1:64 split does not automatically mean 64 subscribers should always be connected. Optical loss, network distance, connector loss, splice loss and subscriber traffic must all be considered.
20 km Transmission Distance
HiOSO lists a maximum reach of approximately 20 km when operating under a 1:32 split ratio.
| Network Factor | Effect on Reach |
|---|---|
| Fibre Length | Adds attenuation |
| PLC Splitter | Introduces optical loss |
| Fusion Splices | Add small losses |
| Connectors | Add insertion loss |
| Patch Cords | Add optical loss |
| Fibre Quality | Influences performance |
| Dirty Connectors | Can significantly increase loss |
An optical power-budget calculation should be completed before deploying a long or heavily split network.
Uplink Interfaces
The HA7304 provides multiple Gigabit Ethernet uplinks.
| Uplink Type | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Gigabit SFP Uplink | 2 |
| Gigabit RJ45 Uplink | 2 |
These uplinks connect the OLT to a core router, aggregation switch, MikroTik router or upstream ISP network.
Typical OLT Network Architecture
| Network Stage | Equipment |
|---|---|
| Internet / Upstream Provider | ISP Backbone |
| Core Router | MikroTik / Router |
| Aggregation Switch | Managed Network Switch |
| OLT | HIOSO HA7304 |
| PON SFP | PX20++ |
| ODF | Fibre Termination |
| Feeder Fibre | Single-Mode Fibre |
| PLC Splitter | 1x8 / 1x16 / 1x32 / 1x64 |
| Distribution Fibre | Outdoor Fibre |
| FAT Box | Subscriber Distribution |
| Drop Cable | FTTH Drop Fibre |
| ONU / ONT | Subscriber Equipment |
| Wi-Fi Router | Customer Network |
HA7304 Management Options
The HA7304 supports several management methods.
| Management Method | Supported |

HiOSO specifies WEB, SNMP and CLI management, along with remote ONU configuration and firmware upgrading.
WEB Management
Web management provides a graphical interface for performing common configuration and monitoring tasks.
Administrators can use it for tasks such as:
ONU monitoring
PON port management
VLAN configuration
Alarm monitoring
Subscriber configuration
Port status monitoring
Network maintenance
ONU Auto Discovery and Registration
The HA7304 supports automatic ONU discovery and registration, simplifying subscriber provisioning.

| IPTV VLAN | Video services |
| Voice VLAN | VoIP services |
VLANs allow one physical EPON infrastructure to carry multiple logically separated services.
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation
The HA7304 supports Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) with fine bandwidth granularity.
DBA helps distribute upstream bandwidth dynamically among connected ONUs according to traffic demand and configured service profiles.
QoS Support
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| IEEE 802.1p | Traffic prioritization |
| DBA | Dynamic bandwidth management |
| Traffic Control | Subscriber bandwidth management |
| Service Priorities | Prioritize voice/video/data |
This makes it possible to differentiate traffic and maintain service quality across multiple subscribers.
AES-128 Encryption
The HA7304 supports AES-128 encryption per Logical Link Identifier (LLID).
This improves subscriber traffic isolation on the shared EPON downstream network.
Supported Protocols
| Standard / Protocol | Function |
|---|---|
| IEEE 802.3ah | EPON |
| IEEE 802.3 | Ethernet |
| IEEE 802.3u | Fast Ethernet |

| Service | Support |
|---|---|
| Internet | Yes |
| IPTV | Yes |
| VoIP / IP Phone | Yes |
| Ethernet Data | Yes |
| Surveillance | Yes |
HiOSO positions the HA7304 for IP phone, Ethernet data and IPTV access.

The HIOSO HA7304 EPON OLT 4 Port with 4 SFP PX20++ provides four independent PON interfaces in a compact standalone platform, allowing an ISP to divide its fibre access network into several distribution zones. With a maximum 1:64 split ratio per PON port, the platform can theoretically register up to 256 ONUs across the complete system. HiOSO specifically lists four PON ports and maximum capacity of 256 ONUs for the HA7304.
The OLT also provides both optical and copper Gigabit uplinks, giving network operators flexibility when connecting the HA7304 to routers and aggregation switches. Its WEB, SNMP, CLI and Telnet management functions provide tools for configuring ONUs, monitoring PON interfaces, managing VLANs and checking alarms remotely.
For a complete EPON installation, the OLT must be combined with a properly designed optical distribution network. Fiber Optics Kenya can supply the HA7304 together with PX20++ modules, PLC splitters, ODFs, SC/APC adapters and patch cords, FAT boxes, fibre closures, outdoor fibre cables, FTTH drop cables, EPON ONUs, fusion-splicing tools and fibre testing equipment.
