China Mobile Communications Corporation (CMCC) has successfully concluded a performance verification test for the core networks from 4 major vendors, with support from EXFO Inc. The Canada-based network test, monitoring and analytics experts, confirmed whether these NFV-based networks can individually support 5 million narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) devices.

Next-generation fiber technologies such as NG-PON2 represent a paradigm shift in the access space and a more certain path towards long-term success, according to Vincent O’Byrne, director of Technology at Verizon.
