Just Released: A summary version of the Fiber Development Index is now available only to members of Share this  sign up link  to help a colleague access the Broadband Forum tools. . 

Omdia’s Fiber Development Index tracks and benchmarks the fiber development across 88 countries. Unlike other fiber benchmarks that largely track coverage or household penetration, as fiber investment is vital to the quality delivery of all data services, Omdia’s benchmark takes into account a much wider set of metrics including fiber household coverage, household penetration, business penetration, mobile cell site fiber penetration, backbone investment, average download and upload speeds, jitter, and latency.

titleA Word from our Leadership Team:Sign Up a Colleague

Share this  sign up link  to help a colleague access the Broadband Forum tools. 

Over the last year, the importance of reliable broadband was laid bare. During a period of unprecedented reliance of so many on dependable broadband access, the contribution of Broadband Forum members towards improving the technological ecosystem cannot be understated.

We commissioned an industry wide Connected Home survey with Omdia surveying service providers around the world and created our first virtual demo that spanned Cloud CO, OB-BAA, USP, and Closed-Loop Automation. We also introduced our first Self-Test Certification Program (USP) and achieved several Certification Program Milestones... Read More.

    titleQ4 Newsletter

    Just a week before we came together for the Q4 meeting in Kona, Hawaii, the Mauna Loa volcano erupted for the first time in nearly four decades. The last time an eruption occurred was in 1984. Back then, only eight percent of households owned a computer and 99 percent of the US population was not connected to the Internet. Fast forward to 2022 and the development of open standards and the enablement of smarter and faster broadband networks has changed the face of the earth.

    Despite the natural disaster on our doorstep and with Hawaii being one of the most isolated places on Earth (nearly 2,500 miles from mainland US) our members still gathered for the final meeting of the year. Read More.

    titleA Word from our Leadership Team:

    Broadband Forum members converged on Antwerp, Belgium, getting together again for our first face-to-face quarterly meeting since March 2020. Presentations and meetings to shape the future of broadband provided endless opportunities to export and import innovative ideas and projects.

    We would like to extend a special thanks to Nokia for sponsoring this meeting, as well as putting together an excellent social and networking event.

    Last year, Belgium’s Federal Council of Ministers announced its national broadband plan, which aims to eliminate the remaining white areas where high speed services are unavailable and roll-out new broadband technologies. Read More.
