The ITU-T Study Group 15 (SG15) 'Transport' is a standardization committee of ITU-T concerned with networks, technologies and infrastructures for transport, access and home. It responsible for standards such as GPON, G.fast, etc.[1]
Administratively, SG15 is a statutory meeting of the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA),[2] which creates the ITU-T Study Groups and appoints their management teams. The secretariat is provided by the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (under Director Chaesub Lee).[3]
The goal of SG15 is to produce recommendations (international standards) for networks.
Area of work
[edit]SG15 focuses on developing standards and recommendations related to optical transport networks, access network transport, and associated technologies.[4]
Some of the key responsibilities of SG15 include:
- Developing international standards for optical and transport networks, which covers fiber-optic communication systems, dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), and synchronization aspects.
- Addressing issues related to access network transport, such as digital subscriber lines (DSL), gigabit-capable passive optical networks (GPON), and Ethernet passive optical networks (EPON).
- Developing recommendations for network management, control, and performance monitoring, as well as resilience, protection, and restoration mechanisms.
- SG15 collaborates with other ITU-T study groups, regional standardization bodies, and industry stakeholders to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated approach to global telecommunication standardization.
