PODCAST: ATIS on how open-access accelerates fiber broadband build-out scale

ATIS is addressing the challenge of open-access fiber networks with its recent debut of the Open Access Network Forum (OANF), a group focused on leveraging real-world deployments and helping the market scale through common APIs and implementation guidance.

Led by industry experts from AT&T and COS Systems, the forum promotes scalable, practical solutions for open-access fiber deployment. OANF serves as a collaborative forum for ISPs, open-access infrastructure providers, and technology partners to align on the principles, architectures, and operating models needed to scale open-access fiber in North America.

In this latest Broadband Pulse podcast, we talked to three members of ATIS about the OANF initiative:

· Susan Miller, CEO of ATIS

· Scott Baker, the chair of ATIS' OANF and Corporate ServiceNow Platform Architecture at AT&T Technology Services

· Sajan Parikh, Vice Chair of ATIS' OANF and the CTO of COS Systems
