Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm    by Sue Spradley      Home         Topics: Main | Standards Organizations | Archive   DSL Forum Advances its Specification Work The DSL Forum today unveiled its BroadbandSuite Release Plan, representing a major new phase of its work to advance broadband services. The DSL Forum has developed approximately 150 Technical Reports (TRs) over the past 14 years that address issues that range from interoperability to remote management of the digital home. The goal of the Forum's new Release Plan is to clearly identify which TRs are associated with specific milestones of broadband development. The Release Plan also provides for the first time, a defined roadmap of Forum work in the pipeline--spelling out exactly what is the next stage of development. BroadbandSuite Release 1.0: This initial set of specifications provided for Internet access via ADSL or SHDSL over a QoS-enabled ATM architecture. It supports VoIP transport & VoDSL. BroadbandSuite Release 2.0 is a solution set of the DSL Forum's most recent work, defining the platform that effectively supports more complex applications such as IPTV streaming. It specifies triple-play access via ADSL2plus over a QoS-enabled Ethernet architecture. Full support for multicast. BroadbandSuite Release 3.0 is tentatively scheduled for completion and release third quarter 2008. It will define triple-play access via VDSL2 & GPON over a QoS-enabled Ethernet architecture. Full support for multicast to enable IPTV streaming, data model and integrated remote management of Set-Top Box, performance monitoring & diagnostics, and more. http://www.dslforum.org 24-Oct-07 Learn How to Get Your Video on this Site Recent Standards News HomePlug AV2 Spec to Support Gigabit-class Powerline 7/28/2010 Wholesale Applications Community Sets Course 7/27/2010 OpenSAF Announces High Availability Middleware Release 4.0 7/27/2010 ZyXEL's VDSL Products Gain IPv6 Phase II Certification 7/21/2010 Vendors back POLQA -- Mobile Voice Quality Testing Standard 7/16/2010 OIF Finalizes IAs for 100G Modules and Control Plane Logging/Auditing 7/14/2010 Alvarion to Support TDD-LTE 7/13/2010 Internet2 Appoints Dave Lambert as CEO 7/8/2010 Bluetooth Adopts Low Energy Spec for Wireless Sensors 7/7/2010 WiMAX Forum Publishes Femtocell Standard 6/17/2010 HomeGrid Forum Partners with BroadBand Forum 6/15/2010 HomePlug Powerline Alliance’s Green PHY Spec for Smart Grid Published 6/14/2010 ITU Approves G.hn as Global Standard for Wired Home Networking 6/11/2010 Eight Silicon Vendors Back G.hn 6/11/2010 MultiService Forum Completes EPC Interoperability Testing 6/10/2010 > More news...   Search  this site   Search the Web   Get Your Column Published Interview: NSN's Sue Spradley on LightSquared's Wholesale Mobile Data Paradigm by Sue Spradley Mobile Backhaul Transition Requires New Testing by Joe Zeto Cybersecurity Requires Public/Private Coalition by Greg Oslan A Rethinking of Cloud Services and Network Architecture by Jim Theodoras Delivering Scalable Video Solutions <br><i> Advantages of SVC-Optimized QoS</i> by Andy Singleton Does Network Neutrality Impact DPI? by James Brear
