TranSwitch® Corporation (NASDAQ: TXCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions for the converged voice, data and video network, will participate in the Full Service Access Network (FSAN) GPON interoperability (IOP) test event in Sophia Antipolis, France on June 22-26 with its Diplomat™-ONT-G product.

The event is hosted by France Telecom and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), under the auspices of FSAN. Participating companies will have the opportunity to test the maturity of their implementation under a global test architecture developed by the organizing companies, France Telecom and Telecom Italia. The main goal of the event is to demonstrate GPON equipment interoperability by pairing different vendors. Detailed test cases are also performed to validate the management of the Ethernet-based services using the ONT Management and Control Interface (OMCI) protocol.

TranSwitch Diplomat-ONT-G is ideally suited for a broad variety of GPON ONT configurations for residential and business subscriber deployments. In addition to fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) applications, Diplomat-ONT-G, in conjunction with the Diplomat-IP xDSL access controller and Entropia-IIIc VoIP processor, provides complete solutions for fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) and multi-dwelling unit (MDU) architectures. The Diplomat-ONT-G efficiently supports data, video and voice services such as IPTV, VoIP, and high-speed Internet access.
