Next Generation Network Access (NGNA):Status of work in the ATM Forum Gerhard Mägerl ATMF Technical Committee Vice Chair gerhard.maegerl@icn.siemens.de Tiphon BOF, November 13, 2001
ATM Forum Mission and Scope • Bylaws revisited and mission statement changed during 2001: • The mission of the Corporation is to • support the acceptance and implementation of Asynchronous Transfer Mode ("ATM") and other broadband technologies, applications and services, based on national and international standards, and • support the advancement and convergence of technologies that enhance ATM and other broadband markets.

Major work item in the Voice and Multimedia over ATM (VMOA) WG initiated as follow up to the Loop Emulation Services (LES) specification, which was done in cooperation with DSLF and technical basis for Broadband Loop Emulation Service (BLES) done in cooperation with ETSI for V5-based protocols and adopted as DEG/SPAN-130104 LES relies on TDM interface (GR303 and V5) to and is controlled by Local Exchange NGNA moves to NGN interfaces and control Next Generation Access (NGNA) Tiphon BOF, November 13, 2001
NGNA (phase 1, btd-vmoa-ngna-01.04) corresponds to the "legacy terminal view" and "technical migration view" as described in the NGN-SG report It is an objective that POTS and ISDN services are delivered to the subscriber in a way that allows the use of conventional telephony equipment by the subscriber and in a quality perceived as equal to that of today's service. Governing principles are Service delivery independent of the underlying transport technology. Functions architecturally distributed over several Network Elements NGNA: Objectives Tiphon BOF, November 13, 2001
