| 09.00 | G.fast Evaluation in Orange Context | |
| Describing the measured performances of G.fast prototype in Orange network context. Detailing the topologies used as well as the measurement set up. Hubert Mariotte, Orange |
||
| 09.30 | G.fast at Swisscom | |
| Overview of Swisscom's UBB strategy towards G.fast and explanation of the deployment scenarios and the network architecture. Highlighting the challenges of deploying G.fast in the live network and handling of CPE's. First lab experiences and approach for cable modelling. Marcel Reitmann, Technical Expert, Swisscom Innovation |
||
| 10.00 | Fiber To The Curb with G.fast | |
 Detailing measurement results for G.fast coexisting with VDSL which reflects the Fttc deployment case with VDSL and G.fast residing in the same cable / cabinet. Furthermore options to enable efficient use of G.FAST up to 800m with minor modifications outperforming any other broadband access technology will be discussed. Hans-Peter Trost, Lantiq |
||
| 10.30 | COFFEE BREAK | |
| 11.00 | Putting the Entire G.fast Solution Together | |
 Describing the end-to-end G.fast system and how the modems, the next generation management, and the reverse power feeding all need to work together to meet the market’s requirements. Sharing lab and field test results and the architectural approaches for different scenarios. Rami Verbin, Sckipio |
| 11.30 | Non Linear Coding | |
 Moderator: Dave Burstein, Editor, Fast Net News |
| 12.30 | LUNCH |
Deploying G.fast, together with legacy DSL
| 14.00 | The Future of VDSL2 in a G.fast World | |
 Giving an overview of FTTx economics and discussing where G.fast and VDSL2 fit in current and future bandwidth demand. Furthermore, presenting new innovations that provide additional deployment options for copper operators.Michael Timmers, Technology Strategist, Fixed Networks CTO, Alcatel-Lucent |
||
| 14.30 | A Novel Approach to Dynamic Spectrum Management in FTTdp Networks | |
 Discussing a new cross-layer approach to Dynamic Spectrum Management that takes advantage of new trends in Broadband Access technologies such as Network Function Virtualization and Deep Packet Inspection, with the potential to deliver an innovative FTTdp architecture with lower power consumption, lower cost and higher data rates to broadband subscribers. - Vectoring technologies - FTTdp architectures - Spectrum resources - Online re-configuration Chano Gómez, Marvell Semiconductor Inc |
||
| 15.00 | Self-installation and Smart Provisioning with G.fast | |
  Effective G.fast Management Management techniques must be extended to provide line stability and performance optimization – particularly to maintain the integrity of the G.fast robust management channel which is crucial for operation. Addressing the effective management of these techniques. Dr. George Ginis and Dr. Ken Kerpez, ASSIA |
||
| 15.30 | Filling the Gap between VDSL2 and G.fast | |
| Wei Dong, Huawei |
