*BREAKING NEWS* Broadband Forum launches three new open broadband projects. The three new?open broadband?projects will provide open source software blueprints for application providers and Broadband Service Providers (BSPs) to follow. These will deliver a?foundation for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for network automation, additional tools for network latency and performance measurements, and on-demand connectivity for different applications.

Thank you, AT&T Labs, Inc. and #LANPARK for hosting and MT2 ftth for sponsoring the 2nd 25GS-PON and 1st HS-PON Broadband Forum Interoperability Plugfest. This event is an opportunity for the crews from multiple companies to test the interoperability of their solutions and, after a well-deserved break, a chance to demonstrate the proof of concept of passive coexistence of high-speed PON technologies?XGS+25GS and XGS+HSP(50G)

What Access technologies do Broadband Service Providers need to install today to support tomorrow's needs? Is XGS-PON going to be the end-all workhorse or will it be a stepping stone to higher bandwidths supported by the likes of 25G, 50G, 100G, and 200G? Industry experts addressed these questions and more during yesterday's vBASe webinar, "State of PON 2025: Where We Are and the Roadmap for Next-Generation Fiber Access." Missed it? No worries. This link leads to the slides and recording. https://lnkd.in/e-Xqh3MZ Bernd Hesse - Broadband Forum, Mike Emmendorfer - Calix, Philip Bednarz - DZS, Frank Effenberger - Futurewei Technologies, Inc., Andrew Bender - Nokia

What is a user-centric approach to broadband? Manuel Paul provides insight into this fundamental question in this clip from his presentation on the Broadband Forum's newest work area, Service Requirements.

A ‘services-led’ broadband approach supports the industry’s shift in focus from just providing connectivity and fast speeds to delivering a richer, more tailored broadband experience for the end-user with value added services. The Broadband Forum’s new Service Requirements Work Area will focus on defining precise, actionable service requirements to address real-world broadband challenges. The group’s work will also align with evolving industry priorities, all while making sure that the user experience is the key consideration and remains central to all future projects. https://lnkd.in/ebNXvvxq Join our webinar tomorrow to learn more about the new work area: https://lnkd.in/evHSE3fK

Well said, Craig Thomas, "This significant USP deployment from Incognito exemplifies the growing global adoption of TR-369 (USP). Utilizing an industry-wide recognized standard and adding the vendor innovation to make a deployable solution that enhances service providers operations and, most importantly, the subscriber experience is the perfect storm for TR-369 and any global standards adoption." – Craig Thomas, CEO of the Broadband Forum."

In the comment section of this LinkedIn post, Marcel Sponer references the BASe Technical Summit planned for Munich on June 26th and 27th, where #USP will be a major focus. The Call for Speakers for that event can be found at https://lnkd.in/gEBKEAnf
