We invite you to read the press release and review the press conference presentation associated with this exciting announcement!

Over the last 15 years, the Broadband Forum has forged industry best practices and standards that have empowered service providers with the tools they need to optimize their broadband networks. Maturing from defining basic physical layer transport parameters to facilitating multimedia service delivery across broadband, the Forum work continues to be aligned with real world broadband development and service provider requirements.

Today, the Broadband Forum packaging our technical reports into distinct BroadbandSuite Releases that provide a roadmap of broadband solutions. Each new release builds on the platform of the former releases. Ultimately, the release program offers the industry a toolkit for broadband achievement.

• BroadbandSuite 1.0 provides the technical reports needed to deliver basic high speed internet access over ADSL
• BroadbandSuite 2.0 increases the speed by including ADSL2/2plus specifications and addressing the remote management requirements of the networked home
• BroadbandSuite 3.0 brings fiber and bonded options into the mix, and provides specifications that ensure quality IPTV deployment and management.
• BroadbandSuite 3.1 adds VDSL2 specifications.
