Alpha’s FlexPoint AX Series fi ber to the premise Optical Network Terminal (ONT) power supply system provides network operators a highly reliable, scalable set of solutions for full or partial outdoor installations. These systems provide a lower cost of ownership than competing powering technologies. The FlexPoint AX power ring with AC/DC power converter module taps AC power from the utility meter base, the most reliable source of power at the home, outputting 12Vdc. This provides service technicians 24 hours a day, 7 day a week availability to the power system, eliminating the need to coordinate maintenance house calls with the subscriber. The FlexPoint AX home converter’s 22-year Meantime Before Failure (MTBF) provides a partial indoor solution. It is plugged into a subscriber’s AC outlet, outputting 12Vdc to the outdoor battery backup power supply or directly to the ONT. Standard and extended standby runtime modules can be added when primary line telephone service is subscribed.
