The sunny climate and steeped history of Porto was a fantastic location to successfully host our Q2 Meeting, pulling together the leading lights from across the broadband ecosystem.

We’d like to welcome and recognize our newly elected board members: John Blackford (CommScope), Francisco A. de Carvalho (Radisys), David Cluytens (Orange), Manuel Paul (Deutsche Telecom), and Mike Talbert (WNC).

This week, our Broadband Forum members gathered both virtually and face-to-face, and were treated to five stellar Town Hall Innovation Sessions (THIS) presentations on the topical issues of broadband sustainability and energy efficiency. The growing momentum of the sessions was palpable, as a packed room and remote attendees tuned in to hear from an engaging line-up of speakers. Read more.

The Open Broadband initiative permeates virtually all Broadband Forum project areas. Read More.
