The plan for the second phase is to provide these services regionwide. In addition to making the center's hardware investment, SingAREN has also developed six test suites for the conformance, performance, and interoperability tests of telecommunications equipment.
Plans are also in place to expand the range of test services.
For example, switch vendors with a development base in Singapore could use the center to test their prototypes or products. Corporations that need to test network technologies and equipment before commercial deployment will also be able to use SingAREN's services. Along with its affiliates at other broadband research institutes and test centers in Japan, the United States, and Europe, SingAREN will collaborate on international interoperability trials and tests of new and advanced network technologies.
