The LAN unique in the telecoms industry

Setup in 2001, the “Laboratoire des Applications Numériques” centres its principal activity in interoperability testing of DLS equipment associated with telephone operators and end-users.

The LAN has developed a reputation with the DSL Forum (now know as the Broadband Forum) as being the point of reference as an ITL (Independent Test Laboratory). In 2005 the LAN merged with the HF group, and this facilitated its development and investments in ADSL2+, SHDSL, VDSL2 technologies.

In 2006 a new purpose-built laboratory was built in Tauxigny, near Tours. This enterprise is considered the best of its kind in Europe.

In 2007 the LAN SARL became an independent subsidiary of the HF group.
