FS-VDSL Group Issues Specs

Part 1: Operator RequirementsDefining services requirements and infrastructure deployment issues. Protecting digital content is also addressed.

Part 2: System Architecture SpecificationDefining end-to-end platform architecture and protocols.

Part 3: Customer Premises Equipment SpecificationDefining customer equipment configurations and connectivity functions.

Part 4: Physical Layer Specification for Interoperable VDSL SystemsPromoting VDSL transceiver interoperability.

Part 5: Operations, Administration, Maintenance & ProvisioningSpecificationDefining the operational aspects for economic deployment of VDSL platforms.The ITU-T has agreed to create an FS-VDSL Focus Group under its Study Group 16 "Multimedia Services, Systems and Terminals" to adopt the FS-VDSL specifications. These specifications will then be proposed to the study group for development into ITU-T Recommendations."Our goal has been to make VDSL an attractive solution by creating a global standard to drive down costs," said Clayton Mangione, president of the FS-VDSL Committee. "The FS-VDSL specifications ensure that VDSL will co-exist with other architectural solutions in the telco environment, and the adoption of our work by the ITU-T ensures that the work will be maintained and evolved over the long term to take into account new technology and applications."Full Service-VDSL Committee
