LG Uplus has laid the groundwork for global telecommunications companies to evaluate the autonomy level of fixed access networks using a standardized approach.
On August 26, LG Uplus announced that it led the development of an autonomy level assessment framework for fixed access network fault management within the global telecommunications industry consortium TM Forum.
The fixed access network connects customers to services such as the internet, Internet Protocol television (IPTV), and Wi-Fi. While telecommunications companies have been enhancing automation levels in subscriber networks to prevent outages and reduce recovery times, there has been no official standard for objective evaluation.
To address this gap, LG Uplus proposed the development of an autonomy level assessment framework for fixed access network fault management to TM Forum and took the lead in its creation. TM Forum is a global consortium that includes telecommunications operators and equipment manufacturers, working to develop industry standards and evaluation systems. More than 800 companies, including AT&T, T-Mobile, and Vodafone, participate in the forum.
This assessment framework has undergone TM Forum's official approval process and will serve as a certification standard for autonomy levels in the fixed access network sector in the future.
Park Seong-woo, head of the NW AX Group at LG Uplus, stated, "This assessment framework is significant as it allows for the verification of fixed access network autonomy capabilities against global standards, which previously lacked objective evaluation criteria. We will continue to collaborate with global telecommunications operators to expand standardization activities for autonomous operation networks and drive innovations in network quality that customers can experience firsthand."
