QUEBEC CITY, February 1, 2016 – EXFO Inc.

The MAX-635G is a must for operators rolling out ultra-broadband to subscribers in today’s highly competitive broadband residential services market.

In addition to supporting G.fast, EXFO's MAX-635G offers multiplay service testing with industry leading, copper fault-finding capabilities.
