Corning uses Telcordia's 'virtual' design simulation service in FTTH cabinet design

摘要

Telcordia (Piscataway, NJ) recently launched its Digital Work Design (DWD) service, a CAD-based design simulation tool aimed at the telecommunications industry. Telcordia says the service incorporates highly detailed graphical simulations, including "human factors" and ergonomics analyses, to test products' usability in a "3D virtual world," before physical prototypes of such products are built. The service is intended to allow equipment suppliers and service providers to actually see how a product will be used in the field while the product is still in its design phase. FTTH infrastructure supplier Corning Cable Systems (Hickory, NC) was the first Telcordia customer to use the service, to aid in design optimization for the Corning OptiTect Premier Local Convergence Point (LCP) FDH-HDF cabinets.
