Fremont, United States – As the broadband industry migrates to software defined open networks, 14 vendors, service providers, and consultancy companies are coming together to demonstrate greater automation, reduced network congestion and greater interoperability.
Improved quality and user experience in case of Wi-Fi or network congestion, better utilisation of network resources, and zero-touch service provisioning from multiple vendors will be delivered at this year’s CloudCO demo from Broadband Forum at this year’s Network X (previously Broadband World Forum). This has been enabled by this year’s sponsors: Altice Labs, Deutsche Telekom, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Juniper Networks, Nokia, Radisys, Reply and Zyxel.
“CloudCO provides a network operator with a “step by step” approach to migrate from existing infrastructure while still amortizing their existing hardware investments. Our work is enabling operators to disaggregate their networks, virtualize functionality, and move to the SDN driven solutions of the future,” says Broadband Forum technical chair Lincoln Lavoie. “The open standards work is available to any vendor so it can truly enable the flexibility and commercial ability for the operators to select any vendor who complies with the open interfaces and specifications inside their CloudCO enabled network.”
