We are Approved.

The networking industry continues to move toward a more complex standard in optical architecture. This change brings increasingly stringent testing standards and equipment. To ensure compatibility our products are programmed and tested by industry leading experts.

Approved invests heavily in technology which allows us to use cutting-edge test equipment on each module we provide. In our Environmental Test Lab, every transceiver is run through an extensive series of platform diagnostic tests. Additionally, all Approved Networks products endure a rigid physical network emulation test. This state-of-the-art procedure provides comprehensive benchmark measurements and performance analysis in real world and customer specific application flows. Approved products only go to market after compatibility and performance have been absolutely proven.

Through our Environmental Test Lab and the continued enhancements of our testing procedures, Approved has set the standard for networking compatibility and reliability. This level of commitment ensures our products and services are of the highest quality.
