titleBroadband Forum Spring Newsletter

Our Spring Member Meeting saw our biggest attendance in more than 15 years, drawing 158 attendees to Mainz, Germany. We have enjoyed a very productive meeting, and continue to build on the success of 2023, with 16 new work area projects started and two new Open Broadband projects launched since our last meeting.

In Mainz, the home to the invention of Gutenberg’s printing press and no stranger to ground-breaking tech innovation, we opened the meeting with discussions on the latest significant breakthrough in tech history. Bringing together technology innovators from across the industry, our Town Hall Innovation Series explored the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in broadband networks. The BASe Technical and USP Summits took place in tandem with our member meeting and was highly attended with a host of engaging plenary sessions, roundtables, and video demonstrations. The three events amassed a total of 243 registered attendees across five days.

Thank you to all of our work area directors, project stream leaders, editors, and contributors for their continuous dedication in building universally adopted open standards and open-source software. Talking with many of the attendees, there was real energy and enthusiasm surrounding the ongoing work and direction of the Broadband Forum... Read more.

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.

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.
