Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today announced that Dr. Yuanqiu Luo, Huawei's top optical access technology expert, was appointed an editor for physical-layer standards in NG-PON2. The Full Service Access Network (FSAN) working group – formed by major telecommunications service providers and system vendors to work on fiber to the home architectures – has identified TWDM-PON as the primary solution for NG-PON2, which contributes significantly to the advancement in the field of NG-PON2 standardization.

In September 2011, Huawei released a 40G-GPON prototype built on TWDM-PON, which amply demonstrated its feasibility and application potential.
