What is the difference between HGU and SFU ?

[mr.Scamp 43]

Optical termination unit type SFU (Single Family Unit) and HGU (Home Gateway Unit) are used to terminate optical access networks.

 

SFU’s also can include full residential gateway (sometimes called Home Gateway (HG)) with firewall, NAT router – which then eliminates a need for a subscriber to install it’s own WiFi router to distribute internet in home or office, DHCP server, USB ports, storage or print server and more. This form of SFU then requires a customer cooperation to manage and configure it and thus more support personnel will be required from a operator side. For this, also TR-69 standard must be supported by SFU Home Gateway units.
