The Broadband Forum has announced major enhancements to key 5G convergence standards that the group said will help advance next-generation applications, improve network resilience, and provide support of converged services for residential customers.
Broadband Forum’s Phase 18.1 specifications build on 3GPP’s Release 18. They extend the set of common value-adding capabilities, enabling operators to deliver customized Quality of Service and more freedom to smoothly migrate to using a single converged 5G Core with a multi-vendor broadband network, the group said.
