Release Program

Release 2.0 was announced on October 24, 2007 at TelcoTV in Atlanta, Georgia.
We invite you to read the press release and press conference presentation associated with this exciting announcement!

Over the last 14 years, the Broadband Forum has forged industry best practices and standards that moved DSL into the #1 Broadband spot in the world. Maturing from defining basic physical layer transport parameters to optimizing multimedia service delivery across broadband, the Forum work continues to be aligned with real world broadband development and service provider requirements.

Today, the Broadband Forum offers more than 150 technical reports that provide a roadmap of broadband solutions. But how can a provider know which report to use, or how each of the specifications work together to deliver an end to end solution? This year, the Broadband Forum is pleased to announce that we are packaging our technical reports into distinct BroadbandSuite Releases.

Why create this type of program? Technical Reports will be packaged into logical solutions and create a common language. The program provides forward notice of work in development as well as providing a roadmap for new contributions and work. Ultimately, the release program offers the industry a toolkit for broadband achievement.
