ISTANBUL, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- At the 10th Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF 2024), the World Broadband Association (WBBA), IPv6 Forum, Arab Information and Communication Technology Organization (AICTO), government agencies, device vendors, and over 10 global carriers launched the Net5.5G Pioneer Program. This initiative calls on industry players to accelerate the commercial deployment of Net5.5G and foster the prosperity of the data communication industry.
Net5.5G, the next-generation IP network, is a crucial Internet infrastructure upgrade for the intelligent era. It drives inter-generational transitions, facilitating more organized planning and promotion of the data communication industry's evolution, thereby significantly enhancing fundamental network capabilities.
The launch of the Net5.5G Pioneer Program will expedite the global commercial deployment of Net5.5G. Martin Creaner, Director General of the WBBA, elaborated on the three categories of the program: thought pioneers, city pioneers, and commercial pioneers. Thought pioneers guide industry development and improve the standards system. City pioneers drive policy implementation and facilitate top-level planning and construction of regional network infrastructures. Commercial pioneers share global best practices in Net5.5 commercial deployment. Martin envisioned the Net5.5G Pioneer Program acting as a catalyst, uniting stakeholders to drive the widespread adoption of Net5.5G technologies, foster industry development, accelerate global commercial deployment, and stimulate new growth for carriers.
In addition, to recognize carriers who have made remarkable achievements in Net5.5G deployment, the Net5.5G Pioneer Award Ceremony was held, honoring more than 10 global carriers.
Representatives from leading carriers, including Turkcell Türkiye etc., shared their best practices in commercializing Net5.5G. Turkcell Türkiye said it will continue to build high-quality network infrastructures, construct networks oriented to Net5.5G, and commercially deploy key technologies such as 400GE/SRv6/Network Digital Map on the target network to provide premium digital services to customers. In addition, the AICTO shared its efforts in advancing Net5.5G commercialization in the Arab and African regions to realize the Arab Horizon 2030 and build a high-speed and high-quality future network infrastructure based on Net5.5G.
The Net5.5G Pioneer Program is expected to unite all industry stakeholders and accelerate the global commercial deployment of Net5.5G. As the next-generation Internet evolves toward Net5.5G, industry organizations, government agencies, carriers, and device vendors are working together to drive innovation in technical standards, policies, and commercial use, fostering the development of the data communication industry and unleashing productivity for the intelligent world.
The 10th Ultra-Broadband Forum, jointly held by the Broadband Commission, WBBA and Huawei, is the premier global summit in the UBB industry.

Net5.5G Pioneer Program Launches in Istanbul to Accelerate Global Commercial Deployment of Net5.5G in Intelligent Era
VEVEY, Switzerland, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nestlé Professional, Nestlé's business-to-business and out-of-home expert, is expanding its Nescafé Fusion system, a range of coffee machines that offer a wide variety of personalized drink options, from hot or cold, to whole roasted beans or instant, to dairy or plant-based milks for white cups.
Offices, hotels, convenience stores as well as education and healthcare institutions consider coffee essential for their customers and employees and look to offer a wider range of beverage choices. Due to the growing demand for cold coffee, especially among younger generations, having an iced beverage option is as important as having a hot one. Food service providers need to answer to this rising consumer demand by having both hot and cold options available at the same time, in a convenient, easy-to-use and personalized manner. But this can be challenging.
Delivering on that need, Nescafé Fusion provides espresso-based beverages, filter coffee and popular iced drinks, like lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas. Food service providers can choose from 14 different coffee machine models based on their business size, cup capacity, counter space and consumer needs. The Nescafé Fusion range has already been launched in 15 markets across Asia, Europe and Latin America and is now being rolled out to an additional 60 markets. The range was developed under the leadership of Nestlé's R&D teams in Orbe, Switzerland, combining system expertise and coffee know-how.
"As the demand for cold beverages increases, particularly among younger generations, our food service providers need to adapt and cater to this trend by offering a versatile menu of both hot and iced beverages," said Reinhold Jakobi, Global Head of Nestlé Professional. "Nescafé Fusion delivers customizable coffee experiences while reflecting our commitment to sustainability."
In addition to being easy to operate and providing different coffee menu options, the Nescafé Fusion machines use up to 30% recycled plastic[1] and can achieve energy savings of up to 60%[2] compared to previous Nescafé machines. The machines use hot water to pre-heat the brewing chamber on demand, replacing heating fans.
To help them decide which Nescafé Fusion machine best fits their business needs, food service providers can use the Lifecycle Assessment Tool to assess a machine's emissions, water usage, resource impact and more[3]. This tool provides region-specific data for Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia.
Telemetry is embedded into Nescafé Fusion machines for troubleshooting, machine settings and beverage calibrations. Nestlé Professional technical experts receive issue reports on a real-time basis, reducing the need for travel to check or maintain the systems.
As all aspects of sustainability are important, Nestlé Professional customers can trace the coffee from the region it was grown to where it was roasted and packed via the "Trace my Coffee" pilot program, launched in Spain and the Netherlands and soon to be launched in the UK and Portugal.
