In its latest Broadband Forum release, BroadbandSuite 4.1 unveiled techniques and tools to provision, measure and manage each segment of the broadband network to ensure quality delivery of Connected Home services.
This release looks at the ever expanding ecosystem of the Connected Home and addresses for the first time service requirements of triple play and beyond to include machine-to-machine applications including metering, monitoring as well as teleworking support.
Recognizing that more than 60% of the world’s broadband deployments are via Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), a group of the specifications in this release deal specifically with how to engineer DSL for enhanced speed, stability and service delivery. These specifications make up what is referred to as the DSL Quality Management (DQM) Suite which describes techniques using DSL line performance, status and test data, as well as other data as inputs to measure throughput and diagnose line functions.
Launched at the Broadband Forum’s Q2 quarterly meeting in Berlin, Germany, Broadband Suit 4.1 –Quality Service Delivery provides a timely toolkit of options for providers to better engineer their networks and management techniques.
