Offers FO Design Certification
- CFOTs often design the
networks they
install, so they have asked the FOA for help - we've developed a
curriculum for FOA-approved schools and a new specialist certification.
We
have also created a new Reference Guide For “Fiber
Optic Network Design” (Download
it now, PDF, 1.3MB)

- "End User"
Section of FOA Web Site
- FOA
has started addressing the specific needs of the end user of fiber
optic networks and systems. A new section of the FOA website is devoted
to the end user, trying to cover the questions users call us to ask.
The information is not just for users, but installers, contractors and
consultants need to be familiar with it also, and we'd suggest they
share it with their customers, as it will help explain fiber optics in
terms they will understand and help everyone communicate better about
fiber optic projects. More in the
FOA Newsletter.

- Want
To Know More About FTTx?
- The

PowerPoint presentation we've developed to introduce FTTx to
contractors and installers which will tell you about FTTx markets,
technologies and opportunities. More on FTTx.
