BBF/SIEPON Joint Workshop

26 June 2014

The emergence of a new generation of hybrid fiber–copper/coax access architectures, such as Fiber to the Distribution Point (FTTdp) and EPON Protocol over Coax (EPoC), presents novel challenges to the industry. Included is the need to manage diverse network elements/devices in a holistic manner. Attendees will learn about recent developments in access-network standardization in CableLabs, the Broadband Forum, and the IEEE. This Workshop will investigate the differences and similarities of FTTdp and EPoC and will include discussions of possible solutions and future work alignment among the three SDOs.
