LF Broadband: Driving Open Innovation in Telecom

In this 14-minute talk, Arpit Joshipura, GM and SVP of Networking, Edge, and IoT at the Linux Foundation, explores how the LF Broadband initiative is revolutionizing telecom infrastructure through open source solutions. Learn about the growing demand for scalable, cost-effective broadband networks as enterprises and residential users generate unprecedented data volumes. Discover how the industry is transforming through disaggregation—separating hardware from software—and moving from traditional Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) systems to advanced 10-Gigabit Symmetric Passive Optical Network (XGS-PON) technologies. Understand how open software and industry collaboration are driving innovation to meet the challenges of modern broadband infrastructure.
