The UNH Interoperability Labs Listed as Official Testing Lab for BBF.247 PON ONU Certification
DURHAM, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The University of New Hampshire Interoperability Labs (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of comprehensive testing and standards conformance services for the networking industry, has announced its approval as a testing laboratory for the Broadband Forum's BBF.247 PON ONU Certification. Currently, the UNH-IOL offers a wide range of broadband testing services, and its PON expansion aims to facilitate open interoperability for PON networks, equipment manufacturers, and service providers. The UNH-IOL is now a certified test lab for BBF.247 PON ONU Certification, ensuring strict adherence to the specification necessary for multi-vendor interoperability among PON OLT and ONU devices. With the growth of fiber technology, ensuring seamless interoperability prior to deployment has become more crucial than ever. This ensures that devices and equipment from different manufacturers can work together effectively. Through PON certification, internet service providers gain the ability to utilize various equipment from multiple manufacturers, fostering equipment flexibility. This flexibility not only reduces costs but also broadens the supply chain, enhances network reliability, and ensures that infrastructure can adapt as PON networks evolve. "The expansion of the PON certification program is essential for helping operators confidently implement new technologies like XGS-PON and the forthcoming 25GS-PON and HSP," said Justin Nelson, Broadband Technical Manager, UNH-IOL. "Ensuring compliance facilitates smooth transitions for Wi-Fi and cellular networks that rely on fiber infrastructure, resulting in a more reliable network and consistent performance for users.' First launched in 2011 for GPON ONUs, the BBF.247 certification was designed for Optical Network Units (ONU) and ensures that ONU equipment used in PON networks complies with requirements outlined in the ITU-T OMCI specifications (ITU-T G.988). Since that initial launch, the UNH-IOL and the Broadband Forum have continued to progress and enhance the PON testing specifications, including multiple releases of the BBF.247 certification program and the TR-255 PON interoperability test plan. Since the program's inception, 226 products have received certification from over 30 companies, underscoring the successful impact of the PON certification. The UNH-IOL is hosting a Webinar on 'The Impact of BBF.247 ONU PON Certification' August 26, 2025 at 10:00 AM (ET) which will educate participants on what BBF.247 is, what it isn't and benefits of this certification. In addition, the lab is hosting the BBF PON Plugfest for XGS-PON, 25GS-PON, and HS-PON (50G PON) during the week of October 6-10, 2025. The event is open to all Broadband Forum members building PON products. The BBF.247 PON Certification is now available as part of the UNH-IOL PON Testing Services, the BBF.247 Certification validates conformance of ONU devices, enabling interoperability with a wider range of OLT suppliers. To learn more about PON events or PON testing services, please visit the UNH-IOL PON webpage. The University of New Hampshire Interoperability Labs (UNH-IOL) is an independent provider of broad-based testing and standards conformance services for the networking and data communications industry. Since 1988, UNH-IOL has been at the forefront of multi-vendor interoperability, offering a neutral and secure environment for testing emerging technologies and developing testing solutions to help companies deliver products to market. With over 28,000 square feet of advanced lab space and multimillion-dollar testbeds, the lab supports a wide range of technologies including Ethernet, IPv6, NVMe®, and automotive networking. UNH-IOL is a 100% industry-funded, non-profit organization shaping global standards while preparing the next generation of engineers through hands-on student engagement and workforce development in collaboration with the University of New Hampshire.

Broadband Equipment Spending to $20.1 B in 2028 on Accelerated Fiber Deployments, According to Dell'Oro Group
Rising AI Applications and Use Cases Shift Focus to Throughput, Latency, and Jitter REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — According to a newly published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, the Broadband Access Equipment market is forecasted to grow at an average annual rate of 1.6 percent from 2024 to 2029, with total revenue peaking in 2028, driven by ongoing DOCSIS 4.0 and fiber expansion by cable and fiber ISPs. The forecast has increased from January due to an expected rise in fiber homes passed. 'We continue to see broadband providers balance ongoing expansion of their networks while also deploying platforms that will allow them to deliver service convergence and customized broadband applications, while also incorporating AI and automation tools,' said Jeff Heynen, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group. 'Though market presence in the form of homes passed remains today's priority, future success will be all about delivering customized service tiers based on attributes beyond speed,' added Heynen. Additional highlights from the Broadband Access & Home Networking 5-Year July 2025 Forecast Report: PON equipment revenue is expected to grow from $10.7 B in 2024 to $12.6 B in 2029, driven largely by XGS-PON deployments in North America, EMEA, and CALA, as well as FTTR (Fiber to the Room) and 50 Gbps deployments in China. Revenue for Cable Distributed Access Equipment (Virtual CCAP, Remote PHY Devices, Remote MACPHY Devices, and Remote OLTs) is expected to peak at $1.2 B in 2028, as operators continue their DOCSIS 4.0 and early fiber deployments. Revenue for Fixed Wireless CPE is expected to peak in 2025 and 2026, dominated by shipments of 5G sub-6 GHz and a growing number of 5G millimeter wave units. Revenue for Wi-Fi 7 residential routers and broadband CPE with WLAN will reach $8.6 B by 2029, as the technology is rapidly adopted by consumers and service providers alike.
