ALBEDO GPON Doctor 10k7 – Dual GPON & XGS-PON Analyzer

Name: ALBEDO GPON Doctor 10k7 – Dual GPON & XGS-PON Analyzer
Brand: Albedo Telecom
SKU: 17764

The ALBEDO GPON Doctor 10k7 is a dual GPON and XGS-PON protocol analyzer in a single, standalone housing – it combines the functions of the 4k7 and 9k7 models thanks to two operating modes (GPON and XGS-PON), and additionally offers an optical power meter as well as line error detection and reporting. One tool for maintaining and certifying 2.5-gigabit and 10-gigabit networks.

ALBEDO GPON Doctor 10k7 – dual GPON and XGS-PON protocol analyzer in a single housing.

GPON Doctor 10k7 reconstructs the state of the FTTH network – a shared view for GPON and XGS-PON mode.

ALBEDO GPON Doctor 10k7 is a dual GPON and XGS-PON protocol analyzer that combines the capabilities of the 4k7 and 9k7 models in a single standalone housing. Thanks to two operating modes — GPON and XGS-PON — it captures data bit by bit in both directions, interprets PLOAM and OMCI control information, extracts user traffic at the Ethernet layer, and additionally measures optical power and detects and reports line errors. It is a complete tool for troubleshooting, certification and interoperability analysis for operators running 2.5G and 10G networks in parallel.

Key advantages of the GPON Doctor 10k7

Two modes in one device – GPON and XGS-PON (4k7 + 9k7 functions)
Bit-level capture up + down with decoding of PLOAM, OMCI, OAM, GEM/XGEM, T-CONT
Built-in optical power meter as well as line error detection and reporting (new features)
Hardware AES decryption and real-time Ethernet traffic extraction (analysis with external tools)
ITU-T G.9807.x and G.984.x compliance certification – identifies the faulty device and the cause of the failure
Topology inference and QoS/QoE assessment – OMCI E/R diagrams, bandwidth charts, multicast video reassembly
One-click capture, automatic calibration, long observations
Removable high-performance capture card – decoding of traffic from GEM ports (including TV and interactive applications)

A protocol analyzer, not a power meter — the key difference

Most popular FTTH testers (PON power meters, OTDR reflectometers, fiber identifiers) work at the optical layer — they measure power and attenuation and locate fiber faults. The GPON Doctor works one layer higher — at the protocol layer: it decodes and interprets PLOAM, OMCI, GEM/XGEM control frames and bandwidth allocation (DBA). It is a different class of tool, answering the question „why the service is not working”, and not just „whether there is a signal”.

It is precisely this capability — the analysis and decryption of control and user traffic — that distinguishes the GPON Doctor from the offerings of VIAVI, EXFO or VeEX (PON power meters / OTDRs). The passive, chipset-independent acquisition hardware delivers a neutral result, independent of any manufacturer’s OLT or ONT implementation — which is why it is a reference tool in interoperability testing and compliance certification.

Applications

Operators running GPON and XGS-PON in parallel – one tool instead of two
Validation and acceptance of FTTH deployments and protocol troubleshooting
Optical power measurements and line error location in a single device
Multi-vendor interoperability testing and ITU-T compliance certification
Support for ONU/OLT manufacturers (compliance and interoperability validation)

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

GPON Doctor 10k7 analysis software – GPON and XGS-PON protocol analysis.

How does the 10k7 differ from the 4k7 and 9k7 models?

The 10k7 is a dual device – in a single housing it contains the functions of a GPON analyzer (like the 4k7) and an XGS-PON analyzer (like the 9k7), switched between GPON and XGS-PON mode. In addition, it has a built-in optical power meter and line error detection, which the single-technology models do not offer.

Can a single device handle a network in which GPON and XGS-PON coexist on one fiber?

Yes. Operators often run GPON and XGS-PON in parallel (coexistence on the same ODN). The 10k7 analyzes both technologies, which makes it possible to diagnose the entire access network with a single tool instead of two.

Does the 10k7 replace an optical power meter?

The 10k7 has a built-in power meter and line error detection, so it combines optical-layer measurement with deep protocol analysis. It is, however, a protocol-analyzer-class tool, not a simple pocket power meter – its value lies in interpreting PLOAM/OMCI and in compliance certification.
