About FSAN
The Mission of FSAN is to drive applicable standards, where they already exist, into the services and products in the industry, and to simultaneously develop new technical specifications for Passive Optical Networks (PON) with the goal of better defining the Full Service Access Network. Great care is taken to ensure that there is no overlap or duplicative activity with other organizations. FSAN is not a Standards Development Organization and does not liaise with SDOs. FSAN does not accept or issue liaisons. Companies that are members of FSAN can bring in technical contributions to FSAN as company contributions aligned with the current Call for Contributions for meetings following current study topics of FSAN. Designated FSAN member companies serve as editors for FSAN documents and typically offer to submit contributions to ITU-T SG 15 Q2, based on completed FSAN specification. The contributions are intended to facilitate the development of global PON standards.
The single FSAN Working Group is called Optical Access Network (OAN). Within OAN are the following active Task Groups: Interoperability Task Group and Next Generation PON (NG-PON) Task Group. Additional Working Groups and study topics in FSAN can be initiated as required by FSAN participants.
