Go!Foton, a manufacturer of optical connectivity solutions, has joined the Broadband Forum. This will enable Go!Foton to contribute to the evolution of fibre connectivity in central offices and data centres worldwide where these require the support of services such as the c-RAN cloud radio access network.
Go!Foton’s portfolio includes the HD Fiber Distribution Management platform, including passive optical components for long haul, metro, and broadband access applications such as NGPON2. Go!Foton’s global presence includes sales offices in Japan, in addition to R&D and manufacturing facilities in Japan, China and in the Philippines.
In joining the Broadband Forum, Go!Foton will be working with some of the world’s major carriers, vendors and test laboratories. The association is focused on engineering smarter and faster broadband networks and looks to achieve the best practices for global networks. These include service and content delivery, technology migration strategies, and redefining broadband through the network function virtualisaion/software-defined networking (NFV/SDN), 5G and Internet of things (loT) transformation.
“The fibre connectivity layer is absolutely critical to help service providers profitably introduce new revenue-generating services. We believe the Broadband Forum is not only dedicated to this cause but is best placed to orchestrate the industry around the definition of what is needed to achieve it. The Forum’s sheer heritage, expertise and body of work is set for a major role as the industry moves forward and we are excited about becoming part of shaping the future of the network,” said Farshid Mohammadi, Go!Foton’s MD, Sales, Connectivity Solutions.
“As the Broadband industry continues to evolve in the direction of fibre-based connectivity, companies such as Go!Foton will have an increasingly important role to play as drivers of interoperability and standards. Go!Foton brings a great amount of experience and expertise to the Forum, and we are very happy to have them on board,” said Robin Mersh, Broadband Forum CEO.
