The MA5616 is an industry-leading remote PON multi-dwelling unit (MDU) with a plug-in design. It has the following features: high access density, superior processing performance, high reliability, easy maintenance, energy saving, and future-oriented architecture design. The device provides ADSL2+, VDSL2, SHDSL, POTS, FE, P2P, ISDN, and Combo user ports, and supports dual upstream transmission channels through auto-negotiation GPON/EPON/GE ports at the network side. It can be smoothly upgraded to support 10G PON. The MA5616 can be used as a mini-DSLAM/mini-MSAN in FTTC/FTTB scenarios. It can be deployed indoors, for example, on a corridor wall or outdoors, for example, in an outdoor cabinet to provide high-bandwidth, flexible density, and multi-scenario service coverage for multi-resident buildings and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

High-speed vectoring: The MA5616 supports vectoring, which can increase the VDSL2 line speed to offer bandwidth-hungry services and a better user experience.

• IPv6 support: Compared with IPv4, IPv6 features simplified packet header, sufficient address space, hierarchical address structure, flexible extension header, and enhanced neighbor discovery mechanism.

• Combo board design: The design saves carriers' construction expenditure, requires less deployment space, wiring workload, and wiring space on the main distribution frame (MDF). Briefly speaking, Combo boards reduce carriers' maintenance costs.

• Effective quality of service (QoS) management: The MA5616 supports user-port-based bidirectional rate limitation, traffic shaping of port-level queue groups, binding of the WRED profile to queues, access control list (ACL)-based priority marking, and mapping of upstream/downstream services to different priority queues for scheduling based on the priority tags.

• Superior manageability and maintainability: The MA5616 supports service pre-deployment, plug-and-play, remote fault diagnosis, remote troubleshooting, and remote batch upgrade.

• Carrier-class reliability design: The MA5616 meets carrier-class reliability specifications. It has passed the electrostatic discharge (ESD) test, provides surge protection, anti-interference functions, user port protection, and power protection, uses an anticorrosion design, has a few wires routed across the board surface, and has proper heat dissipation by producing a temperature difference to prevent condensation.

• Energy conservation: The MA5616 is energy-efficient. It is designed for optimal performance in power consumption, noise control, and heat dissipation, making it an environmentally-friendly device with low total cost of operation (TCO).
