DSL Forum Expands Scope and Adds TRs

The DSL Forum is expanding its scope to other broadband access technologies, including FTTP and FTTN fiber optic standards. Technical work is underway to address common CPE and architecture requirements for various types of access methods to deliver video, voice and data services. Interoperability and qualification work has also been expanded to address higher layer functions as well as the physical layer testing of ADSL2plus and the newly standardized VDSL2.

Michael Brusca, chairman and president of the DSL Forum, said: "We have built on our end to end architecture, broadening Layer 3 specifications that are applicable to FTTP and FTTN in addition to DSLAM based platforms. Our DSLHome work has been expanded to cover management of common CPE and devices for all types of wide area networks and consumer electronics networking requirements."

In a progress report following its annual meeting help recently in Vienna, The DSL Forum also announced that nine new Technical Reports (TR) were completed in 2005.

-MCM Specific Managed Objects in VDSL Network Element
-Operations & Network Mgmt
-DSLHome Applying TR-069 to Remote Management of Home Networking Devices
-Service Interface Requirements for TR-058 Architectures
-DSLHome TR-064 Extensions for Service Differentiation
-DSLHome Reference Models for VoIP Configurations in the DSL Home
-DSLHome Data Model Template for TR-069 Enabled Devices
-DSLHome Provisioning Parameters for VoIP CPE
-DSLHome Gateway Device Version 1.1 Data Model for TR-069
-Multi-Service Delivery Framework for Home Networks
-Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) Requirements Document
-Protocol Independent Object Model for Managing Next Generation ADSL Technologies
-SCM Specific Managed Objects In VDSL Network Element
-CPE WAN Mgmt Protocol
-Base Requirements for an ADSL Modem with Routing

Ultra-Wideband in Billions of New Devices

 Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is quietly becoming one of the most strategic short-range wireless technologies in the market, moving from niche deployments into the mainstream of smartphones, cars, and smart spaces. As the ecosystem matures and next-generation implementations arrive, UWB is shifting from nice-to-have to a foundational capability for secure access, sensing, and high-performance device-to-device connectivity. UWB Technology Market Development Unlike Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, or legacy IEEE 802.15.4 implementations, UWB combines three powerful attributes in a single radio: secure ranging, radar-like sensing, and low-latency, high-throughput short-range data. This allows networking and IT vendors to architect experiences that blend precise location, context awareness, and rich interaction in ways traditional connectivity stacks cannot easily match. According to the latest worldwide market study by ABI Research, UWB is expected to be one of the fastest-growing wireless connectivity...
