IEEE 802.3 will meet
March 6-9 in
The opening 802.3
meeting will begin at 1:00 pm on Monday, March 6, and the closing 802.3 meeting
will be 1:00 pm on Thursday, March 9. These meetings will follow our typical
agenda. (For a typical detailed agenda, please see the minutes from previous
meetings). The detailed agenda will be approved at the meetings. As usual, task force, study group,
standing committee and any appropriate ad hoc meetings will be scheduled between
the opening and closing 802.3 meetings. Also as usual, the attendance books will
only be available on Thursday at the closing 802.3 plenary meeting (not during
the morning TF meetings). A number
of issues will be considered at the Thursday 802.3 meeting. Depending on the amount of discussion,
the meeting may run beyond our target 5:30 pm ending time. To be save if you are interested in the
newer business of the WG, you should plan to be in the meeting until at least
6:00 pm. I look forward to seeing
you in

CALL FOR
INTEREST
10G
EPON Call for Interest (Eric Lynskey, Glen
Kramer)
Today,
only 18 months after the ratification of IEEE Std 802.3ah -
2004,EPON
is
enjoying a great commercial success with more than 2 million
lines
deployed
worldwide and close to 10 million CO ports installed. The
first
cost-effective
optical access technology, the EPON has allowed carriers
to
deploy
advanced services, which in turn spurred the demand for yet
more
capacity.
Many carriers and equipment manufacturers believe that a
higher-speed
EPON is technically feasible, and if standardized, will have
a
great
market potential.
Currently,
representatives of the following companies expressed interest
in
higher
speed EPON technologies and are collaborating on CFI
presentations:
Agilent,
Centillium,
Fiberxon,
Immenstar, ITRI, KDDI,
Salira,Sumitomo
Electric, Teknovus, Telecom
Laboratory.
It
is our current view that the higher-speed EPON specification will
only
focus
on defining a new PHY, leaving other EPON sublayers
unchanged.
