Mission & Scope

Mission:

Develop Broadband Forum technical specifications and test plans to enable multi-vendor interoperability for last mile broadband network deployments according to Broadband Forum network architectures.

Scope:

  • Develop technical specifications for broadband access networks, including fixed wireless access, such as nodal requirements for access nodes, requirements for PON based mobile backhaul networks, authentication of network endpoints, and access network power saving.
  • Specify data / information models for management of access nodes and subtended devices.
  • Create of conformance, interoperability, and plugfest test plans for access network technologies (such as HS-PON, XGS-PON, NG-PON, Gfast, etc.).

Unassigned Project Stream

Projects that don’t fit under the scope of an existing Project Stream or if they fit under the scope of more than one Project Stream, are developed under the Non-PS Assigned category.

Managed by Access WA Directors

Access Interoperability and Test

Interoperability project stream is dedicated to PON system interoperability of telecom services over multi-vendor and multi-carrier inter-connections.  The Interoperability project stream has also added OLT NETCONF management interoperability between OLT NETCONF server interfaces and third-party NETCONF clients such as an SDN controller. 


Interoperability and test project is responsible for creating test cases documents for vendor certification and conformance.  Both vendors and operators benefit from these documents as they describe agreed-upon use cases to support.  Being able to exchange information between devices and management applications is crucial for the modern economy.

Access Management

The Access Management Project Stream is dedicated to the development of NETCONF management models to manage ITU-T and IEEE PON  YANG models. Common access model promote interoperability between NETCONF servers and 3rd party NETCONF clients.

Access Architecture and Framework

The Access Architecture and Framework PS is dedicated to developing technical specifications for broadband access networks, including fixed wireless access, such as nodal requirements for access nodes, requirements for PON based mobile backhaul networks, authentication of network endpoints, and access network power saving.
