1 BroadbandSuite Unleashing the Power Of Broadband Robin Mersh Chief Operating Officer DSL Forum January 14, 2007

2 DSL Forum Mission and Strategy Mission: Develop technical specifications and marketing materials that enable the promotion, delivery and support of profitable broadband products and services. Strategy: Lead industry stakeholders to develop and adopt technical and marketing tools that drive DSL demand from consumers and businesses in every region. 2

3 The DSL Forum History Founded 1994 as ADSL Forum to promote mass deployment of ADSL technology in every part of the world Dropped the A and became the DSL Forum, focused on specifications for all varieties of DSL Expanded the scope of the DSL Forum to develop access agnostic specifications 3

4 Yesterday s Challenges & Solutions Yesterday s Challenge Will DSL reach me? How long must I wait for it? Can I set it up myself? Can I choose my own modem/ gateway? DSL Forum Solutions DSL Anywhere Flow-through Provisioning Auto-configuration Interoperability 4

5 Today there are various DSL Technology Options Family ITU Name Ratified Maximum Speed capabilities ADSL G G.dmt Mbps down 800 kbps up ADSL2 G G.dmt.bis Mb/s down 1 Mbps up ADSL2plus G ADSL2plus Mbps down 1 Mbps up ADSL2-RE G Reach Extended Mbps down 1 Mbps up SHDSL (updated 2003) G G.SHDSL Mbps up/down VDSL G Very-high-data-rate DSL Mbps down 15 Mbps up VDSL2-12 MHz long reach G Very-high-data-rate DSL Mbps down 30 Mbps up VDSL2-30 MHz Short reach G Very-high-data-rate DSL Mbps up/down 5

6 Today s Market Evolution Market is evolving quickly Service providers are integrating fiber and alternative broadband technologies into their network need a common management platform Require added intelligence to respond to a larger variety of next-generation applications Device manufacturers are building with an eye on access agnostic interface. Dual-mode products require intelligent fixed/mobile traffic management Consumers are purchasing online devices independent of their service provider

7 Market Drivers Real-time IP Communications Voice and video are merging into other applications IM, Collaboration, Web Driving increased demand for QoS enabled applications Triple/Quad Play Quality sensitive applications Home Networks Subscriber Self-service Fixed Mobile Convergence Presence and Mobility create new service opportunities Unified Service interface Service portability Source: Strategy Analytics 7

8 DSL Forum Evolution Work is expanding beyond connectivity Focus is shifting from connectivity End-to-end access agnostic solution is required Next-generation broadband architectures must Accelerate the introduction of new services across a converged IP architecture Reduce operating costs by simplifying network operations and maintenance Enhance the subscriber experience by ensuring application quality 8

9 New Focus Focus on three key elements in the next generation network The Home network The Access network The Service Control plane Create a program that focuses on Marketing the features and benefits of the Solution Uniting these three domains to deliver an end-to-end solution The Subscriber and their experience Provide thought leadership for these domains End-to-end reference architectures creates additional liaison opportunities Additional opportunities around test and certification programs 9

10 Key Specification: TR-069 enables CPE support over the entire broadband service lifecycle Remote CPE troubleshooting Improve problem resolution abilities Shorten support calls Eliminate unnecessary CPE replacement Reduce truck rolls Enhance current customer support process Web-based integration Service selection Customization Provisioning Eliminates subscriber need to access CPE GUI Remote CPE management Automate management of millions of devices Firmware upgrades Enable new services Database of all installed CPE Touch-less installation Auto-detection and configuration of CPE Automatic firmware downloads Download latest revsions of 3 rd party software No need to modify or maintain CD s 10 Graphics supplied by Siemens

11 Recently Completed Work DSLHome Technical TR-124 Functional requirements for Residential Gateways TR-068 issue 3 TR-122 DSLHome Base Requirements for Consumer- Oriented Analog Terminal Adapter Functionality (May 2006) TR-111 DSLHome Applying TR- 069 to Remote Management of Home Networking Devices (December 2005) Testing & Interoperability TR-067 Issue 2- ADSL Interoperability Plan (Sept 2006) Architecture & Transport TR-126 Triple Play Services Quality of Experience Requirements TR-101 Migration to Ethernet based DSL Aggregation (April 2006) TR-102 Service Interface Requirements for TR-058 Architectures (December 2005) Operations & Network Mgmt TR-130 TR-129 TR-128- Addendum to TR-090 (Sept. 2006) TR-113 MCM Specific Managed Objects in VDSL Network Element. (December 2005) 11

12 January 14, 2007 Next Steps: Advancements set the stage for IPTV reality MPEG4 video coding allows more DSL users to receive IPTV DSL line rates required are reduced compared to MPEG2 Now DSL can deliver a given video quality over longer cable to reach more users In some networks this can increase the addressable market for IPTV by ~ 20% ADSL2plus, VDSL2 & bonded DSL deliver higher speeds to homes Can then deliver HDTV (MPEG4 encoded) over DSL to more users New Application Layer Error-Correction Codes can ensure IPTV is transported with high quality over DSL E.g. like the new Raptor Codes endorsed for DVB and used in 3G mobile Home networking technologies to distribute IPTV within the home Existing Wires HPNA 3 Powerline Home Plug AV Wireless IEEE n WiFi DSM/DLM (Dynamic Spectrum/Line Management) Optimizes a users individual line configuration to maximize performance

13 DSL Forum- setting the bar for customer satisfaction with IPTV Just Approved! TR-126 Triple Play Quality of Experience Requirements Focus on Quality of Experience (QoE) dimensions, measurement and guidelines for different applications Broadcast TV, VoD, Premium Video Including Packet Loss Ratio guidelines for SDTV and HDTV Also Voice, Best Effort Internet Access and Online Gaming Coming Soon! WT-134 Policy Control Framework WT-135 Data Model for a TR-069- enabled Set Top Box 13

14 DSL Forum- next steps with IPTV Coming Soon! WT-134 Policy Control Framework Creates an intelligent, programmable control layer that unifies all next-generation network assets. Empower service providers to deliver personalized services that enhance the subscriber experience. WT-135 Data Model for a TR-069- enabled Set Top Box Establishes the CPE requirements for Video Delivery devices 14

15 Summary Broadband Industry Requirement Cost-effective high-speed access to the home Network architecture supporting end-end QoS for triple play with security, reliability & policy management Efficient remote management of CPE by the service provider Technology & DSL Forum Solution Focus ADSL2plus, VDSL2, bonded DSL IP/Ethernet-based broadband network architecture (TR-101) Industry-agreed secure WAN management protocol for residential gateways, extensible to CPE devices within the home (TR-069) Multi-vendor interoperable CPE Cost effective triple play networking within the home Plugfests & testing specifications used by independent testing labs BroadbandHome tm initiative addressing multi-device homes 15

16 Conclusion Extending the concept of traditional end-to-end solutions, the DSL Forum has launched an access agnostic approach to next generation networks and services Driving more powerful & effective IP based networks Developing service provider tools for intelligent provisioning & management models Creating a global broadband market of excellence 16
