  Introduction/Standardization Progress/Regulation
 
     
  08.30

Keynote by Thomas Starr
Broadband Forum, AT&T
 
Presenting FTTdp with G.fast, VDSL2, and Vectored VDSL2, the BBF’s equipment testing programs for G.fast and Vectored VDSL2, and management of alien crosstalk with Vectored VDSL2.
 
     
     
  09.00 Overview of G.fast  
   
Discussing the origins of the proposal in BBF, the development timeline of the standard to date, the technical challenges faced, the controversial issues resolved, the main technical aspects of the standard and the current status.

Frank Van Der Putten

Rapporteur for the ITU-T SG15 Q4
 
       
  Deployments and Business Cases
 
   
  10.00 BT: Report from a G.fast Trial  
   
In October 2013, BT and Huawei deployed a multiport G.Fast prototype unit into the BT network at a distribution point (DP) location. Three triallists were then connected to the G.Fast DPU and onwards to the internet via 10G backhaul. This presentation shares some of the results and findings from this trial.

Trevor Linney, BT
 
       
  10.30 Swissom’s Path to G.fast  
   
With the FTTS (Fiber To The Street, which is the Swisscom term for FTTdp) and FTTB concepts Swisscom is today deploying smaller VDSL2 based DSLAMs closer to the customer. This presentations describes the current deployment and the evolution towards G.fast.

Oliver Lamparter
Swisscom
 
       
  11.00 COFFEE BREAK
       
  11.30 Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities in Deploying G.fast  
   
Carrier motivations for migrating to FTTDp with G.fast as an interim step towards FTTH.

Upgrade scenarios for upgrading from FTTN with VDSL2 to FTTDp with G.fast.

Dr. Debajyoti Pal
CTO, Ikanos
 
       
  12.00 Geographic Deployment and Cost studies for G.fast – Hybrid versus
Full FTTH
   
Describing a geographic scenario study of the deployment feasibilities of Hybrid FTTH with G.fast. The study itself details to a particular case of the Netherlands (dedicated to Amsterdam and Den Haag), but the conclusions may roughly hold for any dense city area elsewhere in the world.

Rob van den Brink, TNO
 
       
  12.30 LUNCH  
       
  14.00 End-to-end Architecture for G.fast Networks
   
Analyzing trends in next-generation access and home networks, and how they will be affected by the widespread deployment of new technologies such as G.fast. Discussing best practices and system architectures for integrating G.fast with other broadband technologies such as PON, Wi-Fi, G.hn, Carrier Ethernet, and IPTV.

Chano Gómez, Marketing Manager for Broadband Access and Home Networking Solutions, Marvell Semiconductor
     
       
  System Technologies, Implementations and Architecture for G.fast
 
       
  14.30 How to Deliver Gigabit Broadband  
   
Enabling a software-based architecture for Wi-Fi access point coordination and resource sharing can lead to effective speeds of over 1 Gbps per household. This dramatic broadband service transformation requires no new standards, no new hardware, and no large construction efforts. It can be realized by using existing mass-deployed technologies and by fully extending the concepts of network virtualization all the way to the access segment and the home network.

Dr. John Cioffi and Dr. George Ginis, ASSIA
 
       
  15.00 Key Factors besides the Standard to make G.fast a Successful Technology  
   
Discussing the challenges with the new Fiber To The Distribution Point (FTTDP) scenarios based on the field experience with Outside Plant DSLAMs and derive key factors besides the standard tool box which makes G.fast products an important part in the access network mixture.

Uwe Schmidtke, Adtran
 
   
 
 
  15.30 Facilitating Fiber Level Quality over Copper with a Traffic Adaptive Technology  
   
Fiber level quality over copper is now feasible. On the other hand, efficiency is not sacrificed. The higher performing modem can be implemented in an efficient manner, adapting its power consumption to the varying traffic needs. Combining both optimizations, minimizing the power consumption while maximizing performance is a major challenge in the success of the G.fast technology.

Rami Verbin, Sckipio
 
       
  16.00 Implementation Complexity along the Evolution from VDSL2 to G.fast
   
Sheding light on major building blocks of the DSL and G.fast transceivers with respect to complexity and technological challenges. In consideration of current and upcoming silicon technology nodes, the complexity challenges of G.fast are revisited and compared to the historic development of VDSL2.

Rudi Frenzel, Lantiq
 
       
  16.30 COFFEE BREAK  
       
  Panel/Debate  
     
  17.00 FTTH/VDSL2/ G.fast: Overlaping or Complementarity?
