The CloudCO demonstration to be led by the Broadband Forum at this year’s Network X will show how network operators can unlock network efficiencies and new service delivery from a disaggregated and virtualized software-defined broadband network.
CloudCO’s service delivery automation focus is fundamental for operators to help reduce their operational costs to manage an overall end-to-end broadband deployment. The CloudCO demonstration highlights the benefits of standardized multi-vendor interoperability across all the network layers. Physical and virtual network functions can interact seamlessly, and support common services deployed across different network elements and regions.
Key use cases in this year’s demo include dynamic secure homeworking, virtual OMCI integration, and Automated Intelligent Management (AIM) with Quality Attenuation measurements detecting network congestion triggering dynamic session steering. In addition, fundamental use cases to this year’s demo include zero-touch high-speed internet set-up and delivery, control plane and user plane separation, network and domain orchestration, network disaggregation, and cloudification with both Broadband Forum and Open Networking Foundation (ONF) deployment models.
