After completing specialized training in the installation of optical access networks, TAP members are able to offer their customers up to a 10-year extended product warranty on complete Corning solutions (drop cables and assemblies carry a 3-year warranty).

PCS, which is already a member of Corning Cable Systems Extended WarrantySM Program, provides design, installation, integration, maintenance, and asset management services for fiber optic communication infrastructure applications. Since its inception, the company has installed more than 2,000 fiber optic installations, and it recently completed a FTTH project in Indiantown, Fla.

"Since our inception, PCS has developed a valued relationship with Corning, selecting Corning products in the majority of our fiber optic network installations and participating in numerous Corning-sponsored training classes," said Cindy Boyd, president of PCS. "PCS has built a reputation as an exceptional provider of fiber optic network design, installation, deployment, maintenance and documentation services, and our membership in the Total Access Program will allow us to offer our FTTH customers these same capabilities."
