UfiSpace, the provider of open disaggregated networking solutions, has announced its participation in the Broadband Forum. As a principal member UfiSpace joins the likes of AT&T, Telefonica, Vodafone, and other service providers to accelerate broadband application and service innovations, open standards and ecosystem development.
“Disaggregation of telecom infrastructure is no longer just a trend, but a proven way to reduce cost and spur innovation,” says Vincent Ho, CEO of UfiSpace. “The Broadband Forum brings together the world’s foremost broadband innovators and UfiSpace is looking forward to our collaboration together to bring well-tested, ready-to-deploy, and economical solutions to service providers.”
UfiSpace will focus on broadband and mobile access abstraction and will be contributing its disaggregated router and switching platforms to the Broadband Forum Work Areas and interoperability labs.
“As operators look to fully capitalize from cloud technologies, and deliver more effective service offerings, UfiSpace played a key role in our CloudCO demonstrations last year helping to enable a truly virtualized disaggregated multi-vendor network,” Broadband Forum Managing Director Ken Ko said. “We are delighted to welcome UfiSpace into the Broadband Forum and look forward to its continued contribution in our Access and Transport Architecture Work Area and OB-BAA project.”
Prior to the announcement, UfiSpace has already been a contributor to the Broadband Forum, offering its open broadband network gateways (Open BNG) for the CloudCO 2021 interoperability demonstration of dynamic session steering, conducted in collaboration with system integrator Reply, service providers BT, TIM, and Vodafone and engineers from Altice Labs, Capgemini Engineering, Broadcom, EANTC, Nokia, VMWare and UNH InterOperability Lab.
