Common use of The MultiService Forum Clause in Contracts

The MultiService Forum. The MultiService Forum (MSF) is a global association of service providers, system suppliers and other organizations committed to developing and promoting open-architecture, multiservice communication systems. Founded in 1998, the MSF is an open-membership organization comprised of the world's leading telecommunications companies. The MSF's activities include developing implementation agreements, promoting worldwide compatibility and interoperability, and encouraging input to appropriate national and international standards bodies. As part of MSF’s effort to drive and promote interoperability, the MSF has created a number of programs geared toward accelerating real world network deployments: 1. Global MSF Interoperability (GMI) events. GMI events provide a real-world setting for vendors to test their solutions and provide evidence that vendor products meet the interoperability standards set forth by MSF Implementation Agreements. Each MSF GMI event is built around a set of capabilities defined for a given release of the MSF Architecture. 2. Next Generation Network (NGN) Test Bed. The NGN test bed provides a facility to enable carriers and vendors to perform in-depth testing of a specific interface as defined in a given release of the MSF architecture.
