✦ AI Summary
LG Uplus has established a common evaluation standard for the autonomy level of wired subscriber networks for global telecom operators.
LG Uplus obtained approval for the standard through the official procedures of TM Forum.
The standard is expected to be used as the AN level certification criterion in the subscriber network sector going forward.
LG Uplus has established a common evaluation standard for the autonomy level of wired subscriber networks, or Fixed Access Network, for global telecom operators. A wired subscriber network is the network area connected to customer-facing services such as internet, IPTV, and Wi-Fi.
On the 26th, LG Uplus announced the development and said it had obtained approval for the evaluation standard through the official procedures of TM Forum. TM Forum is a global telecom industry body in which telecom operators and equipment makers around the world participate, and it is responsible for developing telecom industry standards and evaluation systems.
With the establishment of this evaluation standard, global telecom companies will now be able to assess and certify the autonomy level of subscriber networks based on an official benchmark.
Telecom companies have continued to raise the automation level of their subscriber networks to prevent outages in advance and shorten recovery times. However, there had been no official standard that could objectively assess the automation capabilities of subscriber networks.
In response, LG Uplus proposed to TM Forum the development of an evaluation standard for the autonomous operation network, or AN, level in Fixed Access Network Fault Management, and led the effort to establish the standard. The standard was approved through TM Forum's official procedures.
The approved evaluation standard is expected to be used as the AN level certification criterion in the subscriber network sector going forward. As a result, global telecom companies will be able to diagnose and compare the autonomy level of their subscriber networks against the same standard, while also identifying areas that need improvement and establishing an Autonomous Network strategy based on the evaluation results.
The evaluation standard established by LG Uplus can be used by equipment manufacturers to set the direction for developing solutions that meet telecom operators' requirements. It is expected to become a benchmark for verifying and advancing subscriber network operating capabilities in the global telecom industry going forward.
Park Seong-woo, head of the NW AX Group at LG Uplus and an executive director, said the evaluation standard is significant in that it makes it possible to verify the autonomous operation capabilities of wired subscriber networks, for which there had been no objective standard, against a global benchmark. He added that the company plans to continue cooperating with global telecom operators and expand standardization activities for Autonomous Network, while also continuing to innovate network quality as experienced by customers.
