Question 9/6 - Construction of optical networks in the access area

(New)

Background and justification

The scope of the Question can largely be divided into two categories: network planning and the technology of the outside plant. We have studied the operation of outside plant focusing on such aspects as cables, components and accessories. With regard to networking, we have considered the construction of FTTC and now we must consider FTTH.

As regards to the potential overlapping with the work carried out by SG 15 in the area of Passive Optical Networks (PONs) and in particular Recommendation G.983.1, SG 6 intends to cover the area relative to the field performance of components within the system structure of G.983.1, where useful work can be developed. Links are established with SG 15 in order to maintain an adequate coordination.

The latest networks require the following specific features:

  • Functionality;
  • Scalability;
  • Survivability;
  • Cost-efficiency.

Study items

  • Field considerations for the design of fibre access networks.
  • Deployment of shared optical fibre networks.
  • Considerations of the network topologies taking into account planning and growth

Relationships

  • ITU-T SG15
  • Question 6/6

Deliverables

Recommendations for:

  • Extending Optical Fibre Solutions into the access network
2003
  • Deployment of PON’s
2003
