Proof of Concept - End User Equipment

The purpose of the Proof of Concept testing in the Telecom’s Network Integration Laboratory (NIL) is to assist customer premises equipment vendors and service providers to:

• Validate the compatibility of selected modems and residential gateways (RGWs) against the requirements of WVS






• Identify suitable modems and residential gateways for WVS






• As an optional step, test the backward compatibility of the modems/gateways with ADSL2+

Through trialling, the project will reduce risk, fill knowledge gaps and increase likelihood of successful delivery.
