The Broadband Forum: IPTV Over GPON and Bonded DSL Key Components of
BroadbandSuite 3.0
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:11112008
Anaheim, California -- The Broadband Forum, formerly the DSL Forum, has
today unveiled the latest edition of its BroadbandSuite Release Plan at
this year's Telco TV. BroadbandSuite 3.0 provides specifications for
triple-play delivered via GPON and bonded DSL over a QoS-enabled
Ethernet architecture, and remote management beyond the gateway to
address video and storage devices.
BroadbandSuite 2.0, released in 2007, provided a roadmap for
triple-play access via ADSL2plus, but over the past 12 months, the
Broadband Forum has responded to an industry need for the ability to
deliver triple-play services, such as IPTV, over a variety of different
access technologies.
The key capabilities of BroadbandSuite 3.0 include triple-play
augmented via GPON and bonded DSL over a QoS-enabled Ethernet
architecture; full support for multicast to IPTV streaming; and
integrated remote management of set-top-boxes (STB) and attached
storage devices.
This ability to deliver triple-play services over a number of different
access technologies will give more service providers more options to
offer new revenue generating services, such as IPTV, helping them to
gain market share in an already competitive market.
This release also provides the specifications required to successfully
remotely manage the multimedia home network. Not only does this help
the provider reduce costs and time spent in the field, as it enables
technicians to remotely fix faults reducing truck roll, but it also
aids to increase customer loyalty and satisfaction as the majority of
problems can be resolved without any inconvenience to the customer.

BroadbandSuite 3.0 can be seen below.

The benefits of BroadbandSuite 3.0 will be highlighted at this year's
Telco TV in the form of an interactive industry Showcase. The
multi-vendor showcase 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. The Showcase is supported
by:
ADTRAN
ClearAccess
Comtrend
Corning Cable Systems
Ericsson
D-Link
Intel
Juniper Networks
Motive
Motorola
Occam Networks
George Dobrowski, President and Chairman of the Broadband Forum,
explains, "With over 17 million IPTV subscribers around the world - two
and half million in the US alone - the ability to offer triple play
services is essential if a service provider is to remain successful in
such a competitive market. However, different geographical areas and
landscapes demand different access technologies.
"The Forum understands these demands and is working hard to establish
specifications that cover the range of access technologies, from DSL to
fiber, ensuring Quality of Service and Quality of Experience for all
customers, wherever they are. We believe that our BroadbandSuite
Release Plan, which provides a clear and concise blueprint, is the way
to do this.
George continues, "Telco TV is the perfect place to unveil this latest
Release and the Showcase, which will be a compelling addition to the
exhibition, is an ideal way of doing it. Thank you to all of the
members who have driven the development of BroadbandSuite 3.0, and to
all those at Telco TV who are helping to make this exhibit a success."
