2. Highlight of Current Activities
Energy Efficiency
WI05028 was constituted as an open analysis of requirements and potential solutions for using NGN to positively influence energy efficiency in the customer premises
During 2011 the importance of EC Mandates M/441 Smart Metering, and M/490 Smart Grid, and M/462 ICT Networks Energy Efficiency massively increased

3. Highlight of Current Activities
QoS
QoS guarantees from the core to within the customer premises are becoming more crucial for end-to-end delivery of multimedia, including also cellular traffic backhaul

4. Highlight of Current Activities
DECT New Generation
Offers a combination of telephony and data services, supports wide-band voice-over-ip and
provides internet connectivity.
DECT Ultra Low Energy
Allows a battery life time of 5 to 10 years. The
first application is home control, which is planned to be available in 2012.

5. Strategic Direction
Customer Premises Networks (CPN) are becoming increasingly important for delivery of services, as the foundation for FMC-backhaul, IPTV QoE, LBS for EmCall, M2M local area networks, Building Energy Management, etc.
General engineering, optical networks mainly, and global KPIs for energy efficiency monitoring are becoming keys for improvement of physical CPN area

6. Challenges
As reported in GSC-15, the challenge is to co-ordinate so many groups for the benefit of all industry segments and indeed of all ITC-using communities.
Ubiquitous access using smart-phones, tablets, etc, is coming ever closer.

7. Next Steps / Actions
It is crucial to improve the co-ordination of CPN technical discussions amongst the various groups.
