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.

A word from our CEO, Robin Mersh:

"I talked in the Q2 newsletter about the amount of work underway, and the expanding scope that the Broadband Forum is now covering across both the working groups and the special projects – including our burgeoning Open Broadband software projects and Open Standards. There is no question that momentum is growing fast, and while network operators are looking for the agility that “Open Source” offers, they also need Open Standards to create a solid framework and safeguard their current deployments while helping them navigate the exciting yet challenging waters that lie ahead.

The Broadband Forum is perfectly positioned to deliver on this need – we have done it before, and we are doing it again.." Read more.

The Broadband Innovation Group will host a BBF Birds of a Feather (BoF) session at the Q4 2018 meeting in Glasgow, UK, to address access equipment and CPE powering in ultrafast architectures. With the advent of hybrid fibre-rich ultrafast architectures such as (FTTC/VDSL2/Gfast/co-ax), full-fibre FTTP, and fibre-extension FTTP, the issue of powering network elements becomes key both in terms of forward and reverse powering.

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.
