Back for day 2 at #Fyuz22 - breakout session on TIP work on fixed broadband, optical & transport
10 TIP sub-groups on fixed broadband
Various commercial devices (more quant detail later in the keynote sessions)
Now FBB group doing disaggregated BNg & whitebox OLT
Lot of focus in fixed side of @TelecomInfraP is for mobile backhaul / fronthaul transport
OOPT doing disagg cell site gateways, routers, also planning tools & simulation
#Fyuz22
Just noticed “metaverse ready transport” in that chart.
Sigh.
… although I guess as long as it’s not as awful a vision as the #F5G nonsense I saw last week from WBBA I can deal with the hype-driven name
Disagg router & SDN being tested
KDDI & Turkcell done early tests
This is the Metaverse-ready MANTRA group at TIP
Focus on IPoWDM, so right down in the real source of value
No idea what “their party alien wavelengths” are!
Pluggable tranceivers, and combined transponder + router chassis
Exploratory stage. PoC in 2023
Hadn’t really heard of @IPInfusion before
Interesting to see reference to @netomnia in UK FTTX network
Now up, @MarvellTech talking about 5G fronthaul transport via Ethernet
Unclear to me that most FTTX providers are following this closely. Some talk about small cell backhaul. But limited mention of xHaul
This venue - IFEMA Palacio Municipal - has some great architecture, but it also has absolutely ludicrous “safety” theatre
It has a pre-session video longer than an aircraft safety demo, and the utterly stupid badge-scanning 100x a day at multiple points in the building
The mic for the keynote didn’t work. Ooops.
Guess they spent the audiovisual budget on the badge-scanning gadgets (which use veeeeery slow NFC) & army of human monitors wielding them
Definitely looks like TIP moving towards a pre-integrated “system” model for #OpenRAN
Makes sense to me - basically reference designs IMO
Supply diversification = more systems integrators
Cringey-but-understandable (as it’s media friendly)
“Metaverse ready”
Curious to see if in the literature it gets a capital M or not. If it’s Metaverse rather than metaverse then it’ll be a major category error
Good to hear recognition from @meta @Meta_Cx panellist that most AR/VR in medium term will be delivered on home WiFi
TIP metaverse group aiming to foster understanding of QoS, interop, measurements etc - may read across to the mobile domain
Sees TIP as "primary community"
