Telcordia Hosts GPON Test

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- With economic considerations on the minds of operators worldwide, now more than ever, it is imperative for communications service providers and equipment vendors to ensure their networks' integrity and minimize deployment risks through cost-effective testing. Recognizing this, Telcordia, acknowledged in the industry for its expertise in testing cutting-edge technologies, which has included FTTx optical systems and components, recently hosted the 7th Full Service Access Network (FSAN) Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) Test Event at its U.S. Headquarters.

"As the industry continues to move toward IP service creation and delivery, interoperable GPON equipment is critical to enabling cost reductions through volume production and increased market competition, thereby helping to increase the availability of high capacity, fully converged, IP service networks," said Rudi Schubert, Director, Telcordia Network Product Integrity.
