Abstract
Thanks to the penetration of broadband access technologies for Internet, real-time applications like VoIP,streaming applications like IPTV and many other delay-sensitive applications are growing very fast.
FTTH is the key broadband technology and is replacing ADSL. It provides stable high throughput, realizing
even Gbps class. It also plays a very important role in Next Generation Networks (NGN). The NGN is
Carrier-grade network for the future and a converged solution after the legacy telecom networks by
enabling QoS management and controls in IP network like in legacy telecom networks and by supporting
economical, versatile multi-media applications like those on the Internet with secure manners.
In realizing FTTH, G-PON is widely adopted. International Standards on FTTH, G-PON in particular has
been established and is being further developed.
This lecture consist of the following contents: Introduction to Access Networks, Fundamentals of FTTH,
Requirements to FTTH, Regulatory Aspect of FTTH, Global Standards on FTTH and G-PON, Market Trends
and Further Issues.

In 2014, IEEE Canadian Foundation (ICF) marks its 20th anniversary as a foundation in the present
form. This occasion is a reminder of the importance to continue supporting ICF by donating online or
donating by mail.
Your support of the ICF $20 for 20th anniversary recognition will help expand the ICF General Fund
lead programs across Canada:
- Scholarships for outstanding undergraduate IEEE engagement,
- McNaughton Learning Resource Centre Grants for enhancing the learning experiences of students at Canadian universities and colleges,
- Special Grants for new and innovative projects that advance IEEE's core purpose to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.
For first time contributors, please review the success stories and ICF track record on the ICF website.
For recurring contributors, please consider this $20 incremental to your regular donation – special for
the ICF 20th anniversary recognition.
A brief history of IEEE Canadian Foundation (ICF)
After Revenue Canada granted ICF charitable foundation status, ICF started operating under its new
status in January 1994. Prior to that, the ICF existed in other forms. More about the ICF history can be
found at http://ieeecanadianfoundation.org/EN/history/history.php. Since many small charities succeed
in operating for only a few years, the ICF 20th anniversary, and still going stronger, is a remarkable
achievement of the Foundation. It was made thanks to the continual support of many ICF
donors/contributors over the past two decades and a large number of ICF volunteers and IEEE Canada
members. This sustained success in providing benefits to IEEE Canada students, recognition and
awards to IEEE Canada members, and to the engineering community in Canada is a cause worth
celebrating.
