As you may know, offering a reliable internet signal is one of the main reasons for customer loyalty.
In this scenario, ONUs play a central role in the consumer experience, being the gateway to a fast and efficient internet.
With this in mind, we have gathered the main information you need to understand what the ONUs are and how to choose the best options among so many on the market.
What are ONUs?
Also known as Optical Network Units, ONUs are fundamental devices in offering internet services.
Responsible for converting the fiber’s optical signal into an electrical signal, they are largely responsible for enabling the delivery of internet service to the end user.
ONUs are ideal when combined with Wi-Fi routers, offering a complete solution for both providers and end consumers.

Many people get confused: but ONU and ONT are different devices with different functions. The main difference between them is in the way the end customer is served.
Initially, let’s analyze the thermology of each one:
ONU – Optical Network Unit or Optical Network Unit
ONT – Optical Network Terminal or Optical Network Terminal
In practice, both perform the function of converting the optical signal into an electrical signal. However, the ONT emerged as equipment to combine the ONU solution together with the Wi-Fi router in a single product.
But after all, what is the best option?
Each has its advantages and disadvantages, as you will see below:
| ONU | ONT |
| Benefits | Benefits |
| Flexibility to change router as technologies evolve
Generally has a lower activation cost Greater versatility of application scenarios (MPE or condominiums) |
Working with Triple Play (telephony, television and internet)
Simplified installation (just one device) Access to higher speeds (no LAN port limitation) |
| Disadvantages | Disadvantages |
| More devices on the network to manage (UN PPPoE and Wi-Fi settings on the router).
More laborious installation (more sockets and more devices installed on the wall) Access plans limited to 1 Giga due to the physical ETH port of the ONU and the router. |
It is not “proof” of technology change. With developments, the provider needs to change the entire device.
Wi-Fi processing and distribution is all done by the same equipment (may lead to lower Wi-Fi performance) Generally has a higher activation cost |
