This webinar focuses on ITU-T standards for optical transport networks (OTN) which have played a leading role in transforming the Internet’s bandwidth capabilities. This work is led by ITU-T Study Group 15, responsible for the set of standards (ITU-T Recommendations) defining the existing OTN framework. SG 15 is currently developing future technologies such as gigabit-capable and 10-gigabit-capable passive optical networks (GPON and XGPON) to satisfy the unprecedented bandwidth demands of today’s service providers and consumers.

The webinar bases itself on the ITU-T manual on Optical Transport Networks from TDM to Packet.

Questions on this topic are welcome, and can be submitted to the Optical Transport Forum on ITU’s Standards Q&A Forum at http://groups.itu.int/itu-t/StandardsQA.aspx in the Optical Transport Network Forum.
