Telcordia will host its second GPON test event this month, providing testing services for technologies including FTTx optical systems and components, SONET/SDH network elements, and optical networking technologies.
The two-day event will take place during the week of May 22 at Telcordia’s New Jersey headquarters. Nearly a dozen system and device vendors will interconnect their GPON products and reference design prototypes to test interoperability and assess the implementation of the ITU-T G.984.x specifications.
“By conducting the tests early in their development processes, vendors can avoid costly changes later in their GPON product’s commercial life,” said Tim Manahan, vice president of Telcordia Consulting Services. “Service providers also benefit from these tests, which help ensure that the GPON specifications enable multivendor interoperability in future commercial deployments.”
Telcordia held its first such testing event in January.
