Broadband 20/20 Vision Enable new markets and profitable revenue growth by leveraging new technologies (NFV, SDN, Ultra-Fast access, IoT, 4/5G): Ultra-fast wireline infrastructure service Intelligent home/small business services Seamless wireline/wireless connectivity services Performance-assured IP broadband services Personalized network service See for more information. Each brings new stakeholder value enabled by BBF deliverables

User Services Platform (USP)
Defines standardized mechanisms for a network of controllers and agents to activate, monitor, diagnose, and control broadband network enabled services Wide array of use cases: managed broadband services, smart home/building apps, business services, management of multi-tenant facilities Defines a data model, architecture, security and comms protocol to transform consumer broadband networks into an intelligent platform for the development, deployment, and support of enabled apps/services Expands TR-069 from device to service management, leveraging IoT, NFV and SDN in concert with other SDOs Summarized from

SAG and Software Guidelines
BBF has created the SAG (Software Advisory Group) to enable and coordinate its software activities SAG is defining a set of interdependent software guidelines, including processes and tools as needed, that apply to all BBF software deliverables These guidelines will enable and encourage common approaches across BBF Illustrates some of the ways in which SAG is enabling and coordinating software activities. Example: YANG data models depend on BBF YANG BCPs, BBF GitHub guidelines etc.

Leveraging TR-069 Information Model Framework Data Model
USP leverages the power and popularity of TR-069, the CPE WAN Management Protocol, which is deployed in over 300 million devices worldwide USP can utilize and extend the existing CWMP data model, and abstract out layers to support a wide variety of use cases – and make it extensible Information Model Framework Data Model Messages and Operations Message Encoding Message Transfer Protocol Security (AAPC) Discovery, Identification, Addressing AAPC = Authentication, Authorization, Privacy Control.

Importance of Service Provider Input
2015 Ovum TR-069 survey: Efficient and Automated Smart Home Rollout 111 Service Providers responded to the survey Number of TR-069 enabled devices will exceed 350m by end of 2016 Concludes that TR-069 is key in making the efficient delivery of new services a reality USP is BBF’s vehicle for achieving this SP input is vital in allowing BBF to Understand the business case for the smart home Understand the motivation for virtualized services Understand machine-to-machine trends Define the requirements that will drive technical work such as USP USP is a large project Architecting for the next generation of device and service management Already has significant SP input: project leaders both work for SPs Needs more such input: ensure that we are solving the right problems in a way that will be attractive to existing and new customers The Ovum survey report is available from

BBF Innovation Track What it is
A safe and kind environment to expose / discuss / stretch / socialize ideas that could be qualified at first as out of the box, innovative, embryonic The ideas may represent a personal view (not specifically associated with a company) The goal of this exploration space is to road-test and help mature ideas Who? Regular BBF attendees -> through all channels BBF members usually not attending f2f meetings -> participation at virtual meetings Potential BBF members -> propose ideas through BBF web site or attending open webinars Call (fish) for Academia inputs
14
Proposal to HGI members
BBF would welcome a ‘business requirements’ Project Stream under either its market requirements track or its innovation track As it is up to the Project Stream leader to scope the project, the focus could be on HN Business Requirements Project stream leader could be a new participant, as there is no requirement for longevity in the BBF There are already BBF members who would be interested in participating The project stream will run as all other ones and get timeslots at F2F quarterly meetings, as well as possibly progress via conference calls

Thank You!

BBF Innovation Track Process
Work Area Innovation Track Bi-weekly “hearings” and discussions Face-to-face at quarterlies Project Stream Simple but structured input Discussion, feedback, market analysis or survey Validation. BoF candidate Scheduling Members / Non-Members BoF Possible Market Requirements Document NPIF
