The Open Access Network Forum (OANF) brings together industry stakeholders to develop deployable, interoperable technical standards and a commercial playbook for open-access networks in North America.
OANF provides a collaborative forum to align technical, operational, and commercial practices; identify gaps; and produce implementation guidance that reduces integration friction, supports scalable deployment, and accelerates adoption across the North American market.
