Broadband Forum's New Spec Cracks the Code
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Broadband service providers (BSPs) now have more visibility and control of devices and applications connected over a Thread network thanks to the publication of an updated specification from Broadband Forum.
The latest update to its TR-181 data model – Device:2.19 – is set to provide comprehensive support for managed smart home deployments using low-power mesh networking. Those BSPs that adopt the Broadband Forum data model can remotely communicate and manage the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), such as modems, routers, or wireless access points, and diagnose problems with Thread connected devices.
'Interoperability of devices is a hot topic in the smart home, and we recognize the importance of our role in bridging communications between all Thread connected devices,' Broadband Forum CEO Craig Thomas said. 'Alongside this, the updated specification promises improved management of diverse smart home technologies, such as Wi-Fi HaLow. We are excited to see the Connected User Work Area advance its mission to simplify the home broadband network.'
Another major enhancement is a revamped data model for cellular radio interfaces, built to support FWA use cases. This advancement aligns with Broadband Forum's Wireless Wireline Convergence work, enables broadband CPE to leverage cellular connectivity more effectively, and aligns with deployment models using Broadband Forum's USP/TR-369 protocol for management, telemetry, and automation.
Device:2.19 also expands support for Wi-Fi Alliance's Data Elements Release 4, introducing standardized KPIs that improve monitoring and troubleshooting of Wi-Fi performance. The inclusion of Wi-Fi HaLow elements further extends coverage to long-range, low-power devices.
'Device:2.19 reflects our commitment to evolving with network operator needs,' said Jason Walls of QA Cafe, Co-Director of Broadband Forum's Connected User Work Area. 'With support for next-generation smart home technology, Wi-Fi performance metrics, and Fixed Wireless Access, we're giving BSPs powerful tools to deliver exceptional broadband experiences.'
The TR-181 Device:2.19 data model continues to apply broadly across residential gateways, CPE, and other access devices, supporting flexible deployment and lifecycle management under a unified, standards-based framework.

Rocket Lab Successfully Launches 10th Electron Mission for Multi-Launch Customer BlackSky
MAHIA, New Zealand--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) ('Rocket Lab' or 'the Company'), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today successfully launched its 65 th Electron to deploy Earth-imaging satellites for real-time space-based intelligence company BlackSky. The 'Full Stream Ahead' mission lifted-off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand at 11:57 am NZST (23:57 UTC on June 2 nd), successfully deploying a Gen-3 satellite by BlackSky to a 470 km circular earth orbit and further expanding the company's low Earth orbit constellation. Gen-3 was also deployed from a Rocket Lab Motorized Lightband, a separation system for satellites that Rocket Lab has provided BlackSky for each of its launches on Electron to date. 'Full Stream Ahead' is the second in a series of four Electron launches booked by BlackSky to deploy its Gen-3 satellites to orbit this year, and the tenth overall launch for the company since 2019 – making Electron the go-to launch vehicle for BlackSky's constellation to date. Rocket Lab successfully deployed the first of BlackSky's new missions, 'Fasten Your Seatbelts', earlier this year in February 2025. Launching just 16 days after Rocket Lab's prior Electron mission from Launch Complex 1, 'Full Stream Ahead' underscores Electron's reliability amid an accelerating launch cadence. This quick succession of launches with 100% mission success solidifies Electron as one of the world's most consistently and reliably utilized orbital launch vehicles. Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck, said: 'Another successful mission to add to Electron's already stellar track record of providing reliable orbital access for constellation developers across the globe. We're laser-focused on delivering an increasing cadence of regular and reliable dedicated access to space for small satellite operators with Electron, and looking forward to continuing to deploy BlackSky's constellation with more Electron launches in the months to come.' 'With each successive launch BlackSky expands on-orbit capacity, introduces Gen-3 capabilities and furthers our ability to meet the demands of the most time-dominant missions. Our partnership with Rocket Lab has demonstrated exceptional agility in deploying capacity where and when our customers need it most,' said Brian O'Toole, BlackSky CEO. Today's launch for BlackSky will be Electron's seventh successful mission of 2025, Rocket Lab's 65 th launch overall, and brings the total number of satellites delivered to space by Electron to 226.

Discover the transformative benefits of PURE Hard Surface for membrane treatment. For more information, visit contact one of our key distributors, or come to our booth at the Dairy Foods Membrane Technology Forum, June 2-4, 20025 in Bloomington, MN. How SDC Works SDC kills microorganisms by two modes of action: 1) the silver ion deactivates structural and metabolic membrane proteins, leading to microbial death; 2) the microbes view SDC as a food source, allowing the silver ion to enter the microbe. Once inside the organism, the silver ion denatures the DNA, which halts the microbe's ability to replicate and leads to its death. This dual action makes SDC highly and quickly effective against a broad spectrum of microbes. Traditional silver-based disinfectants have short shelf lives – from hours to days. SDC is a stabilized silver ion complex with a shelf life of several years. The unique bond between the silver ions in SDC allows them to remain in solution while making them more bioavailable for antimicrobial action. About PURE Bioscience, Inc. PURE focuses on developing and commercializing our proprietary antimicrobial products, primarily in food safety. We provide best-in-class solutions to combat the health and environmental challenges of pathogens and hygienic control. Our technology platform is based on patented, stabilized ionic silver, and our initial products contain silver dihydrogen citrate, better known as SDC. This broad-spectrum, non-toxic antimicrobial agent formulates well with other compounds. As a platform technology, SDC is distinguished from existing products in the marketplace because of its superior efficacy, reduced toxicity, and mitigation of bacterial resistance. PURE's mailing address is 771 Jamacha Rd. #512, El Cajon, California 92019 (San Diego County area), which serves as its official address for all business requirements.
