The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) together with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute – Industry Specification Group -Fifth Generation Fixed Network (ETSI ISG F5G), the Broadband Forum (BBF), and the China Communications Standards Association – Technical Committee 6 (CCSA TC6) organized the Third Joint ETSI ISG F5G, BBF, CCSA TC6 and ITU-T SG15 Workshop on "FTTR" (Fibre to the room), which took place
23 June 2023 from 14h00 to 18h00 (CEST). The event was held fully virtual.
Introduction
This workshop intended to offer the opportunity to continue the discussion on FTTR (Fibre to the room) for all involved stakeholders. FTTR is a hot topic in Q3/15 for home networking. The fibre in-home topology and functionalities of FTTR technologies may be different from the current fibre-based technologies in transport and access network. For better developing the FTTR specification (G.fin-series), it is necessary to understand the use cases of FTTR and derive the corresponding network requirements. As a result of the recent progress, ITU-T SG15 started the approval process of the new Recommendation ITU-T G.9940 (ex. G.fin-SA) "High speed fibre-based in-premises transceivers - system architecture" at the last meeting in April 2023.
Target audience
Participation in the workshop was open to all regular participants of ETSI ISG F5G, BBF, CCSA TC6 and ITU-T SG15 meetings and to any individual interested in the topic who wished to contribute to the work. Participation was free of charge.
