1) The concept of test light by bypass, described during the presentation of Mr. Hisashi Izumita - NTT could be applied on outside plant in Vietnam.
2) ITU recommendations and Handbooks, and especially Outside Plant documents can support RIPT (Research Institute of Posts and Telecommunications) on the work on:
elaboration of new national criteria and procedures for construction, operation, management and maintenance of Vietnam outside plant infra-structure;
patronization and spreading of the national standards within the engineering areas of the different local telecom operators
3) The Vietnam specialist involved with metropolitan optical networks project must be aware of the opportunities related with new concepts like black link.
SESSION 3NEW TRENDS IN ACCESS TECHNOLOGY AND MULTIMEDIA SERVICES Mr. Hoam – Mr.Tomita
Diversification
- Technologies (POTS, ISDN, xDSL, fibre, mobile phone, wireless LAN)
Carrier has to be ready to provide multiple services. Hard issue for the outside plant?
Standardization is needed.
SESSION 3 FOLLOW-UP
The convergence of telecommunication – Internet – information technology is moving fast. Many new access technologies appear.
Operator need to look very closely, catch-up to the development of technology: in labs, in trial, in practice, standardisation needed (for example: FTTx, PLC…- new for Vietnam).
Prepare for the introduction: trial, commercial. Important: technology is to serve the customers.
SESSION 4 REGULATORY ISSUES IN THE ACCESS NETWORK Mr. Binh – Mr. Lauria
Some maters concerning access network of new entrants (Mr. Tran Thanh Binh - Vietnam)
- The presentation provided condition of Vietel’s access and some point of building of standard to apply for access network
Unbundling criteria in the Access Network (Mr. C. Lauria - Brazil)
- A view of the role of ITU-T and SG-6 was presented, with points that must be taken into account when dealing with unbundled network elements
SESSION 4 FOLLOW-UP
ITU-T should provide a policy to support developing countries to deploy access network, especially for broadband services, build of standard for access network.
ITU-T should concentrate efforts to help the unbundling of network elements to guarantee the a stress-free environment with proper technical solutions to ensure the network integrity, availability and quality of service, ease use of equipment, interoperability and physical access security.
