OLT/ONT and network upgrades
We are upgrading parts of our network over multiple projects to support new features and capabilities. We are also performing lifecycle upgrades to maintain vendor support.
This will include software updates to ONTs, OLTs and network nodes and will require rebooting of these network elements.

ONT & OLT upgrades
We aim to upgrade a small batch of about 20 OLTs and associated ONTs for soak testing; and then proceed with a larger batch of about 130. The rollout will follow with all remaining ONTs and OLTs in the network being upgraded.
OSN upgrades
We are also upgrading the software in our Huawei network nodes for continued vendor support and to reduce the risk of software related issues. These will be done in batches commencing in early October and completing in late November 2020.
