This laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art transmission technologies to test signal performance in long haul networks up to 2000 km length and can emulate any national or international size networks.

This laboratory provides quick validation of STL's Optical Fibres in a wide variety of real life network configurations. Additionally, the laboratory is used in the development and testing of next generation optical fibres and cables.

With the introduction and rollout of the Nationwide Optical Fibre Project by the Government of India, a new focus has emerged for broadband connectivity in the "last mile" – the piece of the broadband network physically connecting the end users to the internet. Whether it is connecting mobile towers for 4G access, or direct connectivity of homes and business, FTTX (Fibre to the "X") is expected to grow significantly in India, in line with the Government’s vision of a Digital India.

FTTX experience centre demonstrates an end-to-end rollout of the last mile network, from the telecom service provider's central office to the installation of the outside plant, and all the way into a user’s living room to the termination of an optical fibre at a consumer’s high-definition television set. This facility utilises GPON technology, while facilitating up to 2.5 Gigabits per second (Gbps) of downstream and 1.25 Gbps of uplink capacity.
