Hsinchu Taiwan, January 5, 2021 — Zyxel Communications announced today that the company’s WiFi 6-compliant XGS-PON flagship product, the AX7501 Dual-Band Wireless AX 10G Fiber PON IAD, has successfully attained the Broadband Forum’s international certification after completing the consortium’s stringent BBF.247 testing program.

“Receiving Broadband Forum certification is a significant achievement, said Chris Chou, Vice President, EMEA CPE SBU at Zyxel Communications. “It makes IOP integration easier among multi-vendor OLT already deployed while giving operators the confidence to roll out mass deployments with reduced churn. Leveraging the Zyxel CPE OPAL firmware trunk and featuring a unique in-house PON stack, the AX7501 helps service providers seamlessly migrate to new technology with a convenient management system. As XGS-PON represents the mainstream in fiber network evolution, Zyxel further demonstrates its industry-leading R&D capabilities with the AX7501’s successful completion of BBF.247 certification program."

The Broadband Forum’s BBF.247 certification program is open to GPON, XG-PON, and XGS-PON ONU products with Ethernet interfaces. Certification of ONU devices assure conformance with the Broadband Forum’s TR-156 and TR-280 specifications and the International Telecommunication Union’s G.998 GPON standards.
