Th​e International Telecommunication Union (ITU)​ organised a Joint ETSI ISG F5G (European Telecommunications Standards Institute – Industry Specification Group - Fifth Generation Fixed Network), BBF (Broadband Forum), CCSA TC6 (China Communications Standards Association – Technical Committee 6) and ITU-T SG15 (International Telecommunication Union – Telecommunication Standardization Sector – Study Group 15) Workshop on “FTTR” (Fibre to the room) taking place virtually on 14 June 2021 from 14h00-18h00 CEST, Geneva time.

This workshop intended to offer a discussion opportunity for all involved stakeholders and focused on FTTR (Fibre to the room), which is a new topic of Q18/15. FTTR is a new topology for home networks. The fibre in-home topology and functionalities of FTTR technologies may be different from the current fibre-based technologies in transport and access network. Before developing the FTTR specification (G.fin), it is necessary to understand the use cases of FTTR and derive the corresponding network requirements. In this regard, ITU-T has recently approved a Technical Paper: Use case & Requirements of Fibre-to-The-Room (FTTR).​
