Project Stream Page: Access Architecture (AA) Project Stream Project Stream Leads: David Sinicrope (GM), Ericsson (acting) Mission: The project stream mission is to advance access broadband network architecture in traditional and new areas to ensure quality connectivity leading to quality user experience. Identify and document the key functionalities and relationships between entities to facilitate the transition of networks to encompass new practices such as virtualization while documenting the key functionalities that need to be brought forward to enable a seamless evolution path.A critical element of the work is the long term support of existing and new physical and statically management network elements alongside agile and virtualized functions in what effectively will be a stable hybrid network. This enables seamless migration based on market acceptance on new technologies, protection of existing infrastructure investment and normal spread of deployment in different territories.The project stream will focus on:
Business Impact: The work creates the necessary foundation for all of the broadband network. It underpins new value-added services and application delivery for fixed access networks, for home and business that can now be deployed at the pace of each market. Co-existence of physical and virtualized solutions and from static and dynamic services will create a broadband network mitigating the risks to existing revenue and enabling market-paced migration. Drive evolution of the network to improve scale, resiliency, reliability and security. Scope: Specifically the project stream covers the following areas:

Project Stream Page: Performance, Experience, and Application Testing (PEAT) Project Stream Project Stream Leads: Gregory Mirsky , ZTE Mission: The project stream mission is to advance testing in traditional and new areas to ensure quality connectivity leading to quality user experience. The project stream will focus mainly in two areas:
Both are needed to provide insight into quality of experience and application outcomes such that the network, while essential, becomes an invisible part of the customer experience. Business Impact: Provide the information needed to analyze a network’s detailed performance allowing service providers to offer not only higher capacity connectivity services, but also higher quality connectivity services. This in turn enables and accelerates industry adoption and deployment of new services and infrastructure. Scope: Specifically the project stream covers the following areas of connectivity quality testing:

Work Area Overview
Mission Statement:
Multiexcerpt | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
The Access and Transport Architecture (ATA) Work Area (WA) defines and specifies the architecture and equipment requirements for access, routing and transport network infrastructure. ATA produces industry-agreed specifications for applications such as mobile transport infrastructure (fronthaul and backhaul), data center interconnect, broadband Internet access, etc. as well as specifications for managing, testing, and maintaining these networks and their applications. This work typically takes the form of architecture, equipment requirements, test & implementation guidance, and education materials. Work Area Directors:

Business Impact:
A critical element of the work is the long term support of existing network elements alongside virtualized software based network functions, resulting in a stable network that may be evolved over time. This enables seamless migration of new networking technologies based on their market acceptance, at the same time protecting existing infrastructure investment, and deployment into new different territories. ATA specifications underpin the network infrastructure, value-added services and application delivery for fixed and mobile access networks, and allow deployment at the pace of each relevant market. Co-existence of physical and virtualized solutions for static and dynamic services create a network infrastructure mitigating the risks to existing revenue at the same time it leverages new networking technology according to market demand.
Scope:
ATA maintains the primary architectures for the work of Broadband Forum. The architectures, requirements and other deliverables reflect the control, management, and data plane aspects of the access, transport and routed networks used to provide operator, enterprise and “over-the-top” Internet based connectivity services. The deliverables of the work area are designed to leverage and integrate new industry technologies while protecting investment of current deployments. These deliverables provide the industry with a collective and consistent methodology to drive product development and service deployment.
