Alcatel and Carrier Access Test FTTP Interoperability

Alcatel and Carrier Access completed interoperability testing between the Alcatel 7340 FTTU product line and the Carrier Access Exxtenz optical network terminal (ONT). Both product lines are based on the ITU-T G.983 broadband PON (BPON) standard. The companies said the tested interoperability status marks a turning point for the industry, as carriers will now have more flexibility in planning their FTTP deployments.
