Fourth Joint ETSI ISG F5G, BBF, CCSA TC6 and ITU-T SG15 Workshop on "FTTR" (Fibre to the room)

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 Fourth Joint ETSI ISG F5G, BBF, CCSA TC6 and ITU-T SG15 Workshop on "FTTR" (Fibre to the room), which took place 10 July 2024 from 8:00-12:00 (EDT)/14h00 to 18h00 (CEST) in Montreal, Canada. This was an in-person event with remote participation.

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 in-premises networking. The fibre in-premises 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, & facilitate deployment of FTTR system, it is necessary to understand the use cases & requirements, deployment challenges, and best practices of FTTR.

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 wishes to contribute to the work. Participation was free of charge.
