Event Technology: Fifth Generation Fixed Network (F5G)

10:00 am CEST (8:00am UTC) to 11:00 am CEST - on ETSI BRIGHTTALK CHANNEL

Fibre and fibre-based optical networks are the key technical enablers of our society's twin transitions (green and digital), providing sustainable and cost-effective communication with high bandwidth, stability, reliability, and improved latency. In addition, the fibre evolution enables sustainable economic growth through advanced services and applications for users, businesses, and industries.

The ETSI White Paper #47 explains the methodology used to define a fibre development index, provides migration path recommendations to countries with different fibre development, and highlights the importance of setting policies to underpin that twin (green and digital) transformation.

Key takeaways of the ETSI White Paper include:

The move to a gigabit world is now more critical than ever Fibre has a range of benefits over other broadband technologies The F5G vision is for FTTE (Fibre to Everything) An FDI (Fibre Development Index) is now required to monitor FTTE progress Strong national broadband policies are essential for FTTE development Emerging markets should look to move directly to fibre

The 8th edition of UCAAT, the User Conference on Advanced Automated Testing took place virtually in October 2021.

UCAAT 2021: Testing to the Edge

Test process automation has proven to increase productivity and product quality. As the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted and increased the demands on various IT systems and services in terms of interoperability, scalability, and adaptability, test automation is essential for delivering agile solutions in uncertain times. Sharing knowledge and learning from experience of others helps everyone to get better prepared for future challenges.

The annual ETSI User Conference on Advanced Automated Testing (UCAAT) is the pinnacle in the calendar of ETSI’s Technical Committee Methods for Testing and Specification (TC MTS). 

Overview

UCAAT is dedicated to the practical engineering and application aspects of automated testing, including experiences from the use of new techniques for test automation, advanced test automation processes, and standardised testing languages and methodologies for test automation in different application domains, such as IT services, telecommunications, transportation, healthcare, finance, and smart cities.

Target audience

The event is of particular interest for:

Test engineer, designer or test automation expert Engineer working in test specification, automation, DevOps and RPA Software developer or architect Project leader or manager in digital transformation Test tool or service provider Test and quality assurance analyst

… then UCAAT 2021 provided a unique opportunity to get together with your peers and exchange on experiences gained and lessons learned, both from the adoption of novel test automation techniques, methods, and tools and from the long-term application of test automation.

Event Technology: Non-IP Networking (NIN)

4:00 pm CEST (2:00pm UTC) to 5:15 pm CEST - on ETSI BRIGHTTALK CHANNEL

ETSI ISG NIN (Non-IP Networking) was formed to support 21st century use cases by standardizing a platform that is not reliant on the TCP/IP suite, though TCP/IP is one of the protocols it supports.

Speakers will include:

John Grant (NIN chair): who will give an outline of the main features; documents published and in preparation; Leo Wang (Birmingham City University) and a speaker from University of Surrey (probably Ning Wang, tbc): outlining previous academic work and new trials; Kevin Smith (NIN vice-chair; Vodafone): implementation over 5G NR; how the new technology might be deployed.

The webinar will close with a Q&A session.

In the 1980s, IPv4 became the basic protocol of the Internet and promoted the development of IP networks. In the 2000s, the MPLS technology enhanced the comprehensive bearing capability of voice and video services. After 2010, IPv6 deployment was accelerated. As more and more devices, vehicles, sensors, and home appliances go online, enabling IP on everything becomes a vision and industry trend.
In this context, all the statistics show that IPv6 is growing constantly and faster than IPv4 in all measures such as number of users, percentage of content, and amount of traffic. For the first time in history, the user–network–content communication chain is ready for IPv6 and this means that the industry has selected IPv6 for the future. On the other hand, the networking field is in constant evolution and all the new use cases and scenarios were not mature or even did not exist when IPv6 was introduced. For this reason, IPv6 started its massive introduction recently and keeps evolving to prepare for the future and meet the new challenges as they arise. Cloud-based everything, Internet of Everything, and industry digitalization posed new requirements on IP networks. The IPv6 enhanced innovation represented by SRv6 emerged.
ETSI ISG IPE will investigate the IPv6 enhanced innovation as required by the new and evolving applications in order to develop an IPv6 enhanced network, to drive the transformation of network service, stimulating business model innovation.

Part 1: Regulator and ETSI IPE Work session

0 - Opening speech – Ton Brand, ETSI
1 - IPv6 Enhanced Innovation (IPE) introduction – Latif LADID, IPE ISG Chair
2 - IPv6 Policy and 5G for Connected Automated Mobility – Jorge Pereira, European Commission

ETSI's Centre for Testing and Interoperability, the OSM community and the Open Air Interface Software Alliance organised the OSM Mid-Release 11 Hackfest from 13 to 17 September 2021. The event was run remotely, allowing participants to join from their homes or offices.

The OSM MR#11 Hackfest was followed by the OSM MR#11 Plenary the week after.

Scope

The OSM-MR#11 Hackfest was fully dedicated to OAI 5G Core Network Functions packaging and onboarding to OSM Release TEN bringing yet a new challenge to OSM and OAI users and developers.

During the Hackfest kick-off, an overview of the OSM NF Onboarding in Guidelines was provided by the OSM community experts. Participants were then organised in teams to collaborate on the onboarding tasks. Through the Hackfest week and with the mentoring of OSM and OAI community experts, they were challenged to build the package, including NFV standardized descriptors, instantiation, Day-1, and Day-2 operations, and build a functional 5G Core. On the last day, each team had the opportunity to demonstrate their achievements and the best onboarding demonstration was awarded!
