GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications Status of Broadband access in ETSI (Including Wireless Access, excluding 3GPP aspects) SOURCE:ETSI TITLE:Status of Broadband access in ETSI AGENDA ITEM:Joint 4.4 CONTACT:Dominique Roche (new) and Nuno Encarnação (former), Chairman of ETSI Access and Terminals [AT] GSC11_Joint_08a1

2. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications Installations and Cabling ETSI (AT) and CENELEC continue their collaboration –taking into account initial work from IEC and ITU-SG6. –Often found that poor installation standards, particularly in private home domains, are limiting the deployment of new services Wireless solutions are increasingly being used … but appropriate wired solutions need to be defined urgently for both professional and private usage

3. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications NGN@Home Convergence of Telecom, Broadcast and ICT technologies –In general has resulted in an increased level of fragmentation to this market sector. –Degree of equipment interoperation is in many cases not satisfactory Two main public network infrastructure standards are under development –a network centered solution, lead by the NGN project, –second centered on peripheral equipment intelligence and using Internet based architectures

4. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications Transparent Transport Capacity Topic identified as being of central importance by industry experts and regulatory authorities ETSI OCG ECN&S is initiating this work. Main goal –identify European market requirements in terms of services and access related to Transparent Transport Capacity Profiling some of the existing standards to meet the needs of European environment is one possible way forward

5. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications Broadband Wireless Access ETSI (BRAN) progresses specifications for interoperable BWA systems HiperMAN –Fully harmonized with IEEE802.16 –Co-operation agreement between ETSI and the WiMAX Forum –Development of test specifications for HiperMAN to be used in the WiMAX Forum HiperAccess –Point-to-multi-point systems above 11 GHz.
