Th​e International Telecommunication Union (ITU)​ organised the Second 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) that took place virtually on 28 June 2022 from 14h00 to 18h00 CEST, Geneva time.

This workshop intended to offer the opportunity to continue the discussion on FTTR (Fibre to the room), (an ongoing hot topic of Q3/15), for all involved stakeholders. 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. For better developing the FTTR specification (G.fin-series), it is necessary to understand the use cases of FTTR and derive the corresponding network requirements. In this regard, ITU-T has published a Technical Paper: Use case & Requirements of Fibre-to-The-Room (FTTR) in 2021.
