We are Approved Networks

Approved Networks is the industry authority on carrier class, third-party networking products for the telecommunications industry. For over a decade our technical expertise has allowed us to consistently deliver first-to-market compatibility solutions in the most rigorous optical networking environments. Headquartered in Los Angeles, Approved Networks provides technical, logistical and sales support to over 3,000 clients in 30 countries.

 

Approved Networks' core competencies include: transceivers, direct attach cables, fiber cabling and cable management. Because we partner with the largest global contract manufacturers, we’re able to provide customers with high quality, cost-effective solutions in direct contrast to the budget prohibitive prices commonly associated with OEM networking products.

 

In addition to our extensive product line, our customer service has earned us a reputation of trust that is unparalleled in the industry. We help clients navigate the complexities of their hardware architecture to guarantee compliance throughout the network. Our service success is proven by the loyalty and support of some of the largest data centers in the world, including: telecommunications, corporations and government agencies.

 

As the networking industry continues to move toward a more complex standard in optical architecture, increasingly stringent test equipment and higher standards are imperative. Transceivers running over multiple fibers at speeds of up to 120GB demand precise programming and state-of-the-art testing. To ensure true compatibility, customers need products that have been programmed – and tested – by industry leading experts.

 

Approved Networks invests heavily in technology, a practice that allows us to expertly use cutting-edge test equipment on each module we provide, ensuring its precise programming. In our Environmental Test Lab, every transceiver is run through an extensive series of platform diagnostic tests. All Approved products also endure a rigid, physical network emulation test. This state-of-the-art procedure provides comprehensive benchmark measurements and performance analysis of the optic in both real world and customer specific application flows. An Approved Networks product only goes to market after compatibility and performance (at-speed in its intended OEM operating environment) has been absolutely proven.

 

Through our Environmental Test Lab and the continued enhancements of our testing procedures to keep pace with the fast-moving industry, Approved Networks has set the standard for networking compatibility and reliability. This level of commitment ensures our customers always receive products and service of the highest quality.
