All, As a follow up to this announcement, I wanted to answer a few questions that I have received.
1)
For those people who want to attend just the 2 hour PON convergence session, then there is no registration fee needed. The BBF staff will work to make this happen. More details to
follow. 2)
For those who cannot make this meeting, the organizers are happy to extend the offer of holding similar sessions in the up-coming meetings of the related standards groups, such as
FSAN, Q2/15, or 802.3ca. 3)
In addition, the session will be broadcast using Webex, for those who can attend remotely.
Sincerely, Frank Effenberger From: frank effenberger
To all interested parties: There is a growing interest in converging all the world’s PON standards into a more harmonized set of documents. The previous 1~2Gb/s and 10Gb/s generations of PON systems each have two PMD
and TC-layer specifications, and numerous management solutions, in spite of the fact that these systems are very similar to each other. The approaching 25Gb/s generation of systems gives us another chance to converge these systems into a single set of specification.
There are good practical, commercial, and architectural reasons that motivate all parties to work towards this goal at this time. That said, the legacy systems must be protected from undue disruption. The Broadband Forum would like to host a meeting on this topic with all stakeholders at its next meeting in Kansas City, Missouri. The session will be from 8-10am on Thursday, Oct. 27. Several
introductory presentations will be made, followed by a round-table discussion on the concept, and on developing an action plan for future work. More information on the meeting (logistics, registration, etc) can be found at:
