China Mobile Broadband Forum’s TR-477 ‘Cloud CO Enhancement - Access Node Functional Disaggregation’ and MR-477 ‘Access Node Hardware Disaggregation’ provide network operators with a migration path from one of their largest network investments – existing Access Nodes such as Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) and Multi-Service Access Nodes (MSANs) – to a new disaggregated software-driven model approach.
Key Points:
- Broadband Forum’s TR-477 ‘Cloud CO Enhancement - Access Node Functional Disaggregation’ and MR-477 ‘Access Node Hardware Disaggregation’ provide network operators with a migration path from one of their largest network investments – existing Access Nodes such as Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) and Multi-Service Access Nodes (MSANs) – to a new disaggregated software-driven model approach.
- When hardware is decoupled, network operators have greater choice when choosing a supplier for individual components of their solutions.
- “SDN-enabled Access Node disaggregation introduces new flexibility in the deployment of the management and control planes by supporting legacy investment and extending the principles of disaggregation, as well as using whitebox hardware and software solutions for future Access Node architecture,” said Bruno Cornaglia of Vodafone who also serves as a Broadband Forum SDN/NFV Work Area Director.
- Traditionally this is one of the largest network element investments made by a broadband network operator.

Automation The Automated Intelligence Management (AIM) framework relies on AI, Machine Learning (ML), and automation to improve operational efficiency and reduce OpEx.
Key Points:
- The Automated Intelligence Management (AIM) framework relies on AI, Machine Learning (ML), and automation to improve operational efficiency and reduce OpEx.
- It can reduce on-site maintenance and/or human intervention and anticipate faults before the user perceives or experiences any service problem.
- One use case for the AIM framework is the monitoring and troubleshooting of the home Wi-Fi network.
- This use case also builds on the Broadband Forum’s QED and subscriber session steering work and was demonstrated at Broadband Forum’s recent CloudCO Demo at Network X.

Broadband The first three broadband network vendors have completed interoperability testing for the Broadband Forum ’s vOMCI standard (TR-451) at a plugfest held at the University of New Hampshire’s InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL) between June and September 2023.
Key Points:
- The first three broadband network vendors have completed interoperability testing for the Broadband Forum ’s vOMCI standard (TR-451) at a plugfest held at the University of New Hampshire’s InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL) between June and September 2023.
- It was confirmed that eight products, along with the Broadband Forum’s Open Broadband BAA project, participated in the interoperability test with the standard.
- “We are delighted to see broadband vendors come together for the industry’s first vOMCI Plugfest and provide feedback to help the Broadband Forum’s work areas and OB-BAA project improve vOMCI software to enable faster and flexible network deployments for network operators,” said Broadband Forum Technical Chair Lincoln Lavoie.
- The UNH-IOL hosted the vendors’ physical equipment as well as vOMCI software in an on-premises cloud, and provided an anonymous report of the plugfest to the Broadband Forum to help the industry assess the state of vOMCI interoperability and plan for future work and testing.

Wi-Fi Most broadband service providers plan to introduce technology which automatically directs greater bandwidth and lower latency to the services being used by customers, says a new report .
Key Points:
- Most broadband service providers plan to introduce technology which automatically directs greater bandwidth and lower latency to the services being used by customers, says a new report .
- This is to meet the growing demands of high-bandwidth applications (like video streaming or gaming) and to deliver improved Quality of Experience (QoE) for homes and businesses.
- Another key finding was that Broadband Forum’s User Services Platform (USP) open industry standard remains critical in the delivery of new value-added services.
- Managed Wi-Fi (58% of respondents) led the way for the question of which value-added services operators plan to use USP for.
