TIA Fiber Optics Technology Consortium Elects 2016 Officers
In 2016 the FOTC will continue to focus on educational materials and seminars.
The Fiber Optics Technology Consortium (FOTC) of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) has elected its slate of officers for 2016. Serving for his ninth consecutive term as consortium chair is Rodney Casteel, CommScope; vice chair is Lee Kellett, AFL/Light Brigade; co-standards chairs are Cindy Montstream, Legrand and Adrian Young, Fluke Networks; membership chair is Robert Reid, Panduit; and communications chair is Dede Starnes, Corning.
“I am pleased to have the opportunity to continue to lead this group,” said Casteel. “The enterprise network continues to evolve, with an ever increasing need for more bandwidth and higher data rates. There is a real need for information and training among network designers, consultants and end users and it’s very powerful to have representatives from different companies present a unified, vendor neutral message.”
