The Broadband Forum: Broadband Forum Launches Latest Technical Release With Innovative Showcase At Telco TV 2008

(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:22102008

To demonstrate the benefits of the Broadband Forum's latest technical
standards, captured in the BroadbandSuite Release 3.0, a special
interactive industry Showcase, "Relax- You're Connected", will be
presented at this year's Telco TV 2008.

This multi-vendor Showcase is a first for Telco TV. It will walk
attendees through the Broadband ecosystem and core-to-home network,
explaining the latest advancements and options available for service
providers to optimize their networks. The Showcase will be divided into
three main areas: Access Acceleration, Mock NOC and the BroadbandHome.
This showcase is supported by:

ADTRAN

ClearAccess

Corning Cable Systems

Ericsson

Juniper Networks

Motive

Motorola

Occam Networks

The Access Acceleration area, supported by ADTRAN, Ericsson, Juniper
Networks and Occam Networks, will highlight DSL and PON network
equipment, as well as Broadband Services Routing technologies, which
meet the real world need for speed, and also focus on the latest
options and techniques for meeting the bandwidth and quality
requirements of today's multi-media home. As providers strive to serve
their full customer base, and fiber and wireless takes root in the
network, this exhibit will take attendees through the latest
architecture blueprints for developing a single network
architecture-hybrid access solution.

The Mock NOC, supported by ClearAccess, Motive and Motorola, will
demonstrate the valuable tools provided to Network Operation Centers
(NOC) via Auto-configuration Servers, focusing on ensuring personalized
Quality of Experience (QoE), and digital home remote provisioning and
management. This area is key to streamlining and automating customer
equipment support and therefore reducing the maintenance costs
associated with today's broadband network.

The final section of the exhibit will be dedicated to the
BroadbandHome, supported by ClearAccess and Motorola. This area will
provide a look at the progress that has been made merging innovation
and standards to better serve the digital home market. Special
attention will be given to the standards that are simplifying and
expediting IPTV deployments around the world and to the many devices
and companies that are taking important steps to improve home device
activation and support.

"The Broadband Forum's 'Relax- You're Connected' showcase is a


compelling addition to TelcoTV's expansive exhibition. It's
illustrative of the comprehensive converged broadband ecosystem that
will convene in Anaheim for TelcoTV," says Bernie Arnason, TelcoTV
Chairman.

"Release 3.0 is a key release for the Broadband Forum as it
demonstrates how our work continues to set the bar higher for network
and application performance in line with the needs of the broadband
customer," explains George Dobrowski, Chairman and President of the
Broadband Forum.



"With better utilization and speed drawn from the DSL infrastructure,
and with the seamless incorporation of fiber into the standard
architecture and management platform of the service provider, there is
greater efficiency, performance and potential for the future of
broadband. Thank you to all of the members who are driving the
development of Release 3.0 and to all those at Telco TV who are helping
to make this exhibit as fun and educational as possible."
