Standards Update on Higher Speed PON, latest OTN technologies and Interoperable Optical Interfaces

Wednesday, 02 April, 12:30 – 13:30

Theater II

Session Description:
 

The international standards (ITU-T Recommendations) developed by ITU-T Study Group 15 provide technical specifications that shape global communication infrastructure. The group’s standards define technologies and architectures of optical transport networks enabling long-haul global information exchange; fiber- or copper-based access networks through which subscribers connect; and home networks connecting in-premises devices and interfacing with the outside world.

This includes the development of standards for the optical transport network, access network and home network infrastructures, systems, equipment, optical fibers, and cables, including submarine cables, and the related installation, maintenance, management, test, instrumentation, and measurement techniques, and control plane technologies to enable the evolution toward intelligent transport networks.

This session presents hot topics from the latest development of international standards (ITU-T Recommendations) within ITU-T SG15, in particular, High Speed and Very High-Speed PON (Passive Optical Network), and the new applications of the technology such as FTTRoom, FTTGrid, FTTIndustry as well as OTN (Optical Transport Network) evolution beyond 800G, including optimizations for Ethernet clients. We will also discuss interoperable optical interface standardization work, focusing on work related to fiber characteristics and transmitter quality metrics.
