    titleOmdia Fiber Development Index

    Just Released: A summary version of the Fiber Development Index is now available only to members of the Broadband Forum. 

    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.

    title2022 Membership Dues AlertQ4 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. Alert! Invoices for 2022 membership dues have been emailed to the Primary, Secondary and Invoice Representatives to current Members and Observers. Please contact Rhonda Heier at rheier@broadband-forum.org if you have not received your invoice.

          Image AddedAt the Q3 meeting, BBF's Work Areas and Open Broadband projects continued to have productive and fruitful meetings with their Broadband Forum colleagues from across the industry. We were delighted to launch the Open Broadband – WWC Reference Implementation for 5G-RG (OB-5WWC) project, which will bring the full benefits of the 5G ecosystem to fixed-line services and create a reference implementation for 5G-Residential Gateways. We invite all members and non-Broadband Forum members to get involved in this work ... Read More .

    Broadband Forum uses a collaborative suite of tools created by Atlassian. These tools allow our members to collaborate real-time across the industry and across the globe.

    • The Wiki (also known as Confluence) is for administration - meetings, agendas, project descriptions, and more.
    • Jira is a project management database used to progress BBF projects, and holds draft Working Texts (WTs), contributions, and ballot comments.
    • Bitbucket is a code repository.
    • Bamboo is a continuous integration server.

    Additional software tools include FishEye, Crucible, SonarQube, Artifactory, and others - these are used for BBF's Open Broadband (OB) work.

    All BBF members have access to these tools - Sign up and review our members-only FAQ for more information.

    To determine if your company is a member of the Forum please see our Membership Listing page here.

    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.
