The Broadband InfoVision Awards took place in De Duif, Amsterdam, and with more categories and attendees than ever before, the event was a huge success! This year saw the launch of several new categories which attracted an unprecedented number of entries from key operators and vendors within today’s evolving market. Ericsson was awarded winner of the Best Broadband Cloud Award for its Mobile Cloud Accelerator, with the Broadband Forum winning the Outstanding Contribution to Broadband Success award, for its TR-069 CPE WAN Management Protocol. This new category recognises the contributions of a body to the development of broadband, and is significant as it marks the first time a forum has been acknowledged by the industry in this way.
