The Broadband Forum announced that seven products have now passed its new GPON ONU Certification Program and achieved full certification. The seven vendors whose products have achieved the first G-PON certifications are: Alcatel-Lucent, Broadlight, Cambridge Industries Group, Huawei, PMC-Sierra, PT Inovacao and Tecom.
Enrollment in the certification program is now open to G-PON ONU products with Ethernet interfaces and is based on the Broadband Forum’s OD-247 test plan. It tests conformance to TR-156 using OMCI as defined in the ITU G.988, which are the most critical standards to interoperable implementations. http://www.broadband-forum.org
