Engineers and technicians must be trained
Leading UK engineering and technology firms, with a combined multi-million pound spend on training and development, will assemble at the IEE 'Investing in Technical Teams' forum on 4 November 2004.
Workshop gives complete picture on CE.NET 5.0
A UK-based workshop will give embedded software development engineers hands-on experience in running the new 5.0 release of Windows CE.NET on next generation processors.
TR-069 is the protocol that defines how the Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) supplies service providers with remote management capabilities over broadband Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) solutions.
On the CPE side of this event, the variety of devices implementing the protocol was greater than ever before, including home gateways, voice capable gateways, set top boxes, and wireless routers, demonstrating remote management capability for all aspects of voice, video, and data enabled networks.
"The number of participants and the wide variety of devices tested demonstrates the high demand from service providers for a common standard of remote management capability," said Michael Brusca, chairman and president of the DSL Forum.
"Interoperability is of prime importance, and TR-069 is quickly becoming the protocol of choice for management of today's broadband subscriber networks".
"The success of this event and demand for further testing 'plugfests' show the industry's commitment to interoperable products that speed the deployment of triple play services using TR-069 capable products".
"It is important to note also that like most of the current DSL Forum technical reports, TR-069 is applicable for any type of broadband access; including fibre-to-the-home".
"This was the largest TR-069 event to date," said Matt Langlois, manager of the DSL Consortium at the UNH-IOL.
"All of the participating engineers showed a willingness to collaborate and work together to achieve interoperability between their products".
This TR-069 testing series, in addition to other test events sponsored by the DSL Forum, continue to improve real-world interoperability of products implementing both DSL Forum Technical Reports and related broadband technologies.
