New Orleans, USA \u2013 December 6, 2017: The Broadband Forum today announced it is working on a landmark project with NTT to standardize the virtualization of operators\u2019 PON networks to support the delivery of Time Critical Applications (TCAs), such as 5G fronthaul. The project, which was initiated by Forum member NTT, one of the world\u2019s largest service providers, looks to open up new business opportunities for operators and vendors by using network virtualization technologies such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) to cost-effectively upgrade their PON networks to enable the rapid introduction of new services. iphone 8 full body case glitter<\/a> This includes the key issue of fronthaul for 5G services, adding to the Forum\u2019s ongoing work on the convergence of fixed and mobile networks. iphone 6 case with free screen protector<\/a> \u201cAs users\u2019 usage changes, both in regard to the different services required and the amount of data coursing through fiber networks, operators need to update their PON networks, including by adding TCAs,\u201d said Akihiro Otaka, Executive Manager at NTT Access Network Service Systems Laboratories. \u201cThis used to require the remake of PON equipment for each service, but should be done via a software upgrade in the near future to improve cost-effectiveness. With demand for this increasing, it is important we ensure there are standards in place to achieve a vendor-agnostic system and ensure mass deployment of this new system architecture, which is essential if we are to deliver agile and flexible next-generation broadband networks for emerging services.\u201d The project \u2013 PON Abstraction Interface for TCAs \u2013 looks at how SDN and NFV can be applied to Optical Line Terminals to disaggregate PON functions to functional modules with open interfaces. The first phase will define the disaggregation policy and functional requirements of interfaces to disaggregate PON functions which need time-critical processing, while the second phase will define the detailed specifications of the interfaces as Application Programming Interface (API) sets. The project has already attracted a number of new members to the Forum, as the industry becomes more focused on how the fixed network can help deliver 5G. iphone 7 phone cases seals<\/a> \u201cDelivering new services efficiently and cost-effectively is a priority for the whole industry and this project will play a key role in realizing this objective,\u201d said Arief Mustain, Executive General Manager at Telkom Indonesia, one of the new members involved in the project. \u201cThis is particularly true as the industry moves towards 5G and standardization will play a big part in making this new mobile technology a success.\u201d The project was just part of the activity at the Broadband Forum\u2019s quarterly meeting taking place this week in New Orleans, Louisiana. iphone 6 case grey silicone<\/a> \u201cAs we work to meet the demand for new services, faster connectivity and more bandwidth, our focus is shifting from the fixed network to a holistic broadband network,\u201d said Robin Mersh, CEO of Broadband Forum. torro iphone 6 plus cases<\/a> \u201cWe know fiber will play a huge role in the delivery of 5G and this project looks to define that role and make it possible for operators to offer fronthaul services, among others, via their PON networks. This makes the work important not just for the broadband industry but the telecoms market as a whole and it can only be achieved on a wide scale through collaboration and standardization.\u201d For more information on the Broadband Forum, visit the Broadband Forum website at broadband-forum.org. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
