Setting the Standard for Interoperable Broadband.
The Broadband Forum's "Testing and Certification" programs are pivotal in driving a future of choice, healthy competition, and a resilient supply chain. By ensuring certified compliance with published standards, we create a powerful engine for the rapid introduction and continuous improvement of broadband products and services.
Our industry-leading initiatives encompass end-to-end testing across fiber, copper, Wi-Fi, and carrier-grade subscriber and device management, addressing both interoperability, conformance, and performance requirements. Developed collaboratively by our members, our test plans are designed to complement the broader standards landscape.
