Milpitas, California, June 26, 2006 – JDSU today announced that its Reliability Engineering Test Lab in Shenzhen, China is the first manufacturing test lab in Asia to complete Verizon's rigorous Fiber Optic Component (FOC) testing program. Verizon certified JDSU’s lab to test fiber optic assemblies and connectors to confirm that new fiber products being introduced to Verizon's Fiber-To-The-Premises (FTTP) network are fully compliant with accepted industry standards and meet Verizon’s reliability and quality requirements.
Verizon’s certification allows for JDSU to perform in-house FOC testing when witnessed by an approved Verizon independent testing laboratory (ITL). This results in JDSU being able to deliver optical communications components more cost-effectively and with improved cycle times.
“We are pleased to be the first optical communications manufacturing test lab in the Asia-Pacific region to receive Verizon’s FOC testing certification,” said Debora Shoquist, JDSU’s senior vice president of operations. “It is a validation of our commitment to innovation and quality and a testament to the dedication of our personnel in Shenzhen.”
