Telcordia: GPON Interoperability Event Was a Success

Hoping to drive network integrity and minimize carrier deployment risks, Telcordia today revealed details of the 7th Full Service Access Network (FSAN) Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) test event that it recently hosted at its U.S. headquarters.

The event allowed vendors to verify their understanding of the relevant industry specifications and to validate implementations early in the development process, thereby avoiding costly changes later in a GPON product’s commercial life, according to Telcordia.

Detailed test cases were carried out to verify the ONT equipment management, including OMCC establishment, Management Information Base (MIB) synchronization operations, ONT capability discover, and ONT software image updating.
