This section covers Openreach's current and planned activities in the field of Next Generation Access.
Openreach NGA Forum and NGA Products Working Group
The Openreach NGA forum, previously known as the Openreach Future Access Forum, meets every other month. The NGA Products Working Group, previously known as the Openreach Fibre Product Industry Systems Technical and Process Industry Working Groups and the NGA Technical and Process Sub-Working Groups was established as a combined technical and process meeting in November 2008 and meets when necessary to discuss issues relating to NGA products.
The forum and products working group aim to assist Industry's understanding of the technology, systems and processes for Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) Generic Ethernet Access (GEA), Fibre Integrated Reception System (Fibre IRS), and forthcoming Dedicated Ethernet Access (DEA) and Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) products. These meetings may evolve over time to consider future Industry requirements for further development of the products. These meetings are currently scheduled to run on the following dates:
29th March 2010 - NGA FTTC/P Trialist Working Group, 10.00 - 16.00, Media Suite, BT Tower*
22nd April 2010 - Openreach NGA Forum 14.00 - 17.00, BT Tower Auditorium, London
