This year FiberHome launched the first STB and Combo Box inter-op project in Indonesia. This project is deployed for PT Telkom, which is a large state-owned carrier with 70% telecommunication market share in Indonesia.

Right now our STB and Combo Box already passed the IoT with other vender’s IPTV platform and got the quality certificate of PT Telkom, and we are the only third party terminal company who get the QA certificate. This means we have qualification to provide our video products for PT Telkom, which is a very important breaking through for selling our video products in Indonesia.

Because the client lack of test environment and equipment we invited them to do the test in China. The client accepted this suggestion and sent their test manager, technical manager and senior test engineer to China to do the test in FiberHome lab.

During the test we faced some difficulties: first, the test cases have been given a little bit late and some extreme environment test is not necessary; second, the client cannot understand FiberHome test method well and lack of confidence; third, the client insist to take some tests personally in third party lab; forth, clients are Muslims, we need arrange Moslem meal for them and take them to Mosque every week for prey.

In order to overcome all these difficulties, the project team work together, cooperate with PT Telkom actively and find the best way to solve all the problems: first, for the test cases all team members work overtime to prepare test environment and equipment, and also discuss with client to eliminate the unnecessary test cases; second, for the test method, our test engineer will explain each test step before doing the test, and make sure the tester of PT Telkom understand our test procedure to eliminate their doubts; third, for personally test in third party lab, we negotiate with the lab and persuade them to accept that our client can do the test personally in their lab; forth, for the Moslem meal we find a good and close Muslim restaurant, and arrange a car to take them go to the restaurant to have meal. And also we find a Mosque and take them to prey each Friday. Through all these efforts we only spent two weeks finishing all tests, and passing rate achieved 100%.

The test was supported by multiple departments, such as sales, marketing, test and development department. All these departments cooperated with each other to provide a solid foundation and guarantee the success of the IoT. This is the first time our video products passed the IoT in oversea, which provided valuable accumulation for our products and accumulated international testing experience.
