Telecom Infra Project Looks at Open Fixed Networks

Telefonica, TIM and Vodafone are among ecosystem participants leading the Open Fixed Access Networks  sub-group of the The Telecom Infra Project’s Fixed Broadband Project Group.


The sub-group aims to drive the deployment of open, disaggregated and interoperable fixed network access technologies.


That includes interoperability between multiple supplier solutions, interworking between optical line terminals and optical network units,  as well as integration with software-defined network controllers, allowing service providers to mix and match network elements supplied by different infrastructure suppliers. 


The sub-group also seeks the virtualization and disaggregation of hardware and software, removing vendor lock-in.


Improved operating efficiencies also will be investigated.
