‘Operators can save time and effort by collaborating to create more automation in the deployment of services and closed loop control as Broadband Forum demonstrates the evolution of its Cloud Central Office (CloudCO) project at this year’s Broadband World Forum. Bringing together nine leading vendors and renowned international interoperability labs, the virtual video demonstration will showcase how greater network and service agility is within reach.

Aligning remote engineers, equipment and labs from three continents into a single, integrated demonstration of the flagship architecture CloudCO, it highlights the work on Open Broadband – Broadband Access Abstraction (OB-BAA) which leverages a combination of SDN automation and virtualization and open source innovation. For the first time, OB-BAA will be partnered with User Services Platform (USP) functionality for remote Wi-Fi Closed Loop automation.

Combining open source initiatives and supported by four of the world’s leading service providers (BT, Swisscom, TIM, Vodafone), the demonstration includes speakers and engineers from Altice Labs, Altran, Broadcom, CommScope, DZS, EANTC, Nokia and University of New Hampshire – InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL). It spotlights network transformation and innovation, and leverages a combination of rigorous standards specifications, quality Open Sources software components and a collaboration lab test environment.’
