- Today at Fyuz®, Telecom Infra Project (TIP) announces the launch of a new TIP Project Group, with a 1st wave of supporting organizations, focused on enhancing Quality of Experience for streamed & live video applications running over wireless broadband networks
The TIP Board approved the launch of a new TIP Project Group focused on optimizing wireless broadband network delivery for video applications that run live or streamed over the network. The Project Group aims to kick off with the support of a number of industry-leading Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and Content Application Providers (CAPs) – including AT&T, Meta, Orange, Telefonica, Vodafone and YouTube. Additionally, other industry leading CAPs and CSPs are keen to contribute their key learnings to this new PG’s efforts.
This Project Group will address a recognized global need amongst CSPs and CAPs for industry-spanning improvements in the enhancement and optimization of live and streamed video applications that run on wireless broadband networks, beyond defining specifications and protocols in various industry fora and standards organizations.
Complementing and reusing technical, industry-defined specifications, e.g. within IETF and ITU-T, this TIP community will collaborate on trialing relevant end-to-end video delivery optimization solutions and in the first instance, aim to build a comprehensive industry guideline where there is:
- Identifying an industry-adoptable common set of QoE metrics for video delivery as well as recommendations and best practices to make these metrics accessible between CAPs and CSPs; and
- Recommend mechanisms for exchanging information between CSPs and CAPs to enable application-level self-regulated video delivery based on network conditions or subscription policies.
This TIP Project Group will launch at Fyuz 2025, and will commence operations in November 2025. TIP invites others across the CSP, CAPs and vendor communities to join TIP and this Project Group. The TIP Project Group community agrees to operate in a fair, collaborative and transparent manner to advance its agenda, and has set a target of producing its first deliverables during the 1st half of 2026.

About the Telecom Infra Project
TIP is a global community of companies and organizations that are driving infrastructure solutions to advance global connectivity. A lack of flexibility in the current solutions – exacerbated by a limited choice in technology providers – makes it challenging for operators to efficiently build and upgrade networks. Founded in 2016, TIP is a community of diverse participants that includes hundreds of companies – from service providers and technology partners to systems integrators and other connectivity stakeholders. We are working together to develop, test and deploy open, disaggregated, autonomous, programmable and standards-based network solutions that deliver the high-quality connectivity that the world needs – now and in the decades to come.
