Social and Cultural Factors

o Enhance, not replace, human contact - anthropocentric technology

o Equal and Universal Access - reduce the Digital Divide

o Globalization/Standardization, while preserving cultural heritage

o Privacy, trust, confidentiality - roadblocks to eTransformation

What is the next generation optical network?

(different targets different timescales)

o Extension to current SDH/SONET network with ASON, GMPLS, etc. ?

o Bitrate and protocol transparent optical datapath with electrical control and management ?

o All-optical network with optical control, information processing and routing ?


ITU-T

Why do we need the next generation optical network ?

o Cost reduction potential larger for optics than for electronics

o Increased network efficiency and utilisation

o Increased flexibility and responsiveness to dynamic traffic demands/changes

o An optical network is in line with the MPLS concept (simplified core, complex and intelligent edges)


ITU-T

What is needed for the next generation of photonic networks

to become a reality

o Significant effort needed to lower the cost and enable OAM functions of optical components

o Better understanding of traffic and performance issues needed to evaluate cost and reliability in current proposals.

o Optical networks must become digital

o Gain consensus on administrative concepts and standards.


ITU-T

When will the next generation of photonic networks become a

reality

o Dynamic administration of pseudo optical networks (SONET/SDH) in 2-4 years.

o All-optical networks functions in the data plane obtainable in 5-10 years

o All-optical operation in all layers is not realistic with current know technology (and might never be)


ITU-T

European cable situation

o Weak standardisation position (proeminence of US standards); has led to local vendors bankrupcy; few projects

o Pro-active association (ECCA), grouping main operators; TComLabs for interoperability

o Tendency to recomposition towards a few main players (Pan-European operators)

o Weak economical situation but good potential (broadband access, voice, DTV); target 50% of broadband access market


ITU-T

HFC networks SWOTo Strengths:

• Flexible capacity• Evolution to wireless/FTTH • Allows triple-play services

o Weakness:• Upgrade cost and delay• MSOs financial situation / legacy situation

o Opportunities:• Integration of video and multicast• Added value services

o Threats:• ADSL with H264 / Satellite with PVR• Cooperating networks


ITU-T

Trendso Fast bidirectional upgradeo No strong push for DTVo Strong deployment of broadband data access;

may drive to global IP infrastructureo VoIP systems deployment (slower than

expected)o Video (VoD) related services expected to

deploy rapidly o Home network extensions: interface with HN,

security in the home

FP6 - Strategic Objectives

Broadband for all: To develop the network technologies and architectures allowing a generalised availability of broadband access to European users, including those in less developed regions.

o Next Generation Networks and Interneto Access networkso Optical networks


ITU-T

FP6 - Strategic Objectives Mobile and Wireless Systems Beyond 3G:

To realise the vision of "Optimally Connected Anywhere, Anytime" where different access levels and technologies are combined to optimally complement each other for different service requirements and radio environments.

o Radio/UWBo Local ‘sphere’ networkingo Wide Area Networkingo Satelliteo Re-configurable radio techniqueso End-to-end service delivery


ITU-T

FP6 - Strategic Objectives Networked Audio-visual systems and

home platforms: To develop end-to-end networked audio-visual systems and applications, and open trusted and interoperable multimedia user platforms and devices, notably for broadcasting and in-home platforms with full interactivity capacity.

o Multimedia networkingo Home platforms
