(Telecompaper) Support for the implementation of the G.fast standard continues, as the Broadband Forum announced completion of the industry's first G.fast equipment plugfest and start-up Sckipio announced a new line of G.fast reference designs for compatible modems. The plugfest held in early June at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory was designed to give equipment manufacturers developing remote Distribution Point Units (DPUs) and Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs) an opportunity to test and benchmark the interoperability of their products prior to full certification testing. A total of 14 companies participated. Sckipio Technologies was one of the participants in the plugfest and has also just presented its new line of G.fast reference designs to support CPE modems inside a SFP pluggable form-factor, what it claims is an industry first. The company also announced a first CPE bridge reference design designed with reverse power injection for use in powering distribution point units via reverse power-feeding. The announcements were made in conjunction with the TNO Ultrafast Broadband Seminar in The Hague, co-hosted with the Broadband Forum. Other participants in the plugfest included Adtran, Alcatel-Lucent, Arris, AVM, Broadcom, Calix, Huawei, Ikanos, JDSU, Lantiq, Metanoia, Realtek Semiconductor and Technicolor, while test and measurement equipment was providedby Sparnex Instruments and Telebyte.
