  1. GSC9/JOINT-009 Rural areas communications access, terminals and home systems General ETSI activities overview GSC-9, Seoul

  2. Introduction • Rural areas have 2 main characteristics • Long distance to main centres • Low density of users with a wide spectrum of requests • Most rural communications systems can be classified • Access systems, typically based on radio • Due to the large costs of wired systems • Lower costs and increasing capacity of present radio systems • Terminals and Home systems, playing increasingly a central role in rural areas to support • Telecommunications Universal Service (e.g. voice telephony) • A number of available video services (TV, other information) • Remote assistance in different areas GSC-9, Seoul

  3. Terminals and Home Systems • Terminals and Home systems in rural areas • The long distances to (non-Telecom) service centres create an additional justification for the use of (tele-) communication systems, • e.g. emergency, medical, administration, tele-banking, cultural, social, commercial, newspapers, white goods, fire, police services used from remote sites • Rural Terminals and Home systems • may (or not) need less broadband applications than business areas in urban centres • but have a wider range of applications and urgent user’s social requests (service centres are farther than in urban areas) GSC-9, Seoul

  4. Home Networks, NGN @ Home • General information • Working Group AT-N works in “NGN@Home” • Wide scope initial work plan collects information • New services and applications @ Home • Technology independent solutions • Home Network elements to inter-operate • among them and with Telecom Networks & Services • All technologies (wire, wireless, access, home) beneficiate to coexist and be used at the best GSC-9, Seoul

  5. Home environment common items • Backwards compatibility with legacy systems • Backwards compatibility, support of legacy terminals features [TR 101 973 series] • Maximise the usage of harmonised or converging solutions, e.g. interface offered for POTS [ES 201 970] • Future oriented convergence with NGNs’ evolution • Improve inter-working among base technologies • Facilitate differentiation & universality of services & contents • Consider horizontal aspects • Regulatory framework on services & networks,terminals, etc • Interoperability among different solutions • HighQoS[Quality of Service], e.g. for Voice [EG 201 050] • Support to emergency situations • Security/ Data protection, Lawful Interception • EMC, safety GSC-9, Seoul

  6. Work in the Home environment • TR 102 160 series (in development) • Will collect the maximum information • Co-operation with CENELEC, ITU-T & others • exist and is being intensified • E.g. Smart House aspects is one focus • Narrow Band and Broad Band web sites • Offer a central point for information in these areas • Information on (wire-line) Access & Terminals • Common and general aspects: • www.etsi.org/at • Specific technology aspects: • xDSL, BroadBandCableCom, Power Line • Note: ETSI deliverables can be downloaded free of charge from • http://webapp.etsi.org/WorkProgram/Expert/QueryForm.asp GSC-9, Seoul
