Network engineers from more than 30 companies gathered at LAN’s Digital Applications Laboratory in Tauxigny, France to test the performance and interoperability of ITU-T’s new 10-gigabit symmetrical passive optical networking XGS-PON standard.
XGS-PON has emerged quickly as a global industry standard that is to co-exist with current generation GPON “Fiber To The Home” (FTTH) broadband infrastructure.
Organized by the Broadband Forum and the Full Service Access Network Group (FSAN), the inaugural ITU-T XGS-PON Plugfest aimed to pave a common fiber-FTTH migration path for industry participants across the value chain. The event drew the likes of ADTRAN, Broadcom, Calix, Huawei, Nokia, ZTE and others.
