Broadband Communication

Already agreed definition:

Broadband Communication is defined as

Always-on (connected) Service ????(Better: defining by not to dial ... ?)

Providing a two way data serviceproviding 128 kBit/s as a minimum

Aims of the Code of Conduct

Reducing energy consumption for networkingand broadband communication equipment forexisting and future appliances

Cooperation with manufacturer to bring upenergy efficiency as an early state design item

and to define useful requirements forenvironmental conditions like requirements forair conditioning in data houses.

Focused Appliances

Appliances for communication andbroadband communication related to theend user (mostly located in householdsand small offices).

Appliances for network infrastructurerelated to the service provider (mostlylocated up to 2 km from the end user).

Different Tiers for Faster Success ?

Tier 1:

Doing all needed definitions on terms andcommon standards

Focusing on well known SOHO appliances

Setting Limits for stand-by mode andreferring to CoC on external Power Supplies

Setting only a short period to be valid

We should set up a first version of CoC very fast. So we should do this by introducing different tiers

8/14/2019 Broadband CoC Meeting 081104 Jaekel

7/14

Different Tiers for Faster Success

Tier 2: Including network infrastructure appliances

Influenced by hardware properties

Influenced by environmental conditions Including Voice over IP and other NGN

features

Including Power Line Converter for internalnetworking

Setting a longer period to be valid

8/14/2019 Broadband CoC Meeting 081104 Jaekel

8/14

Extensions for Tier 2

Adding appliances of the networking

infrastructureAdding requirements for condition under

that the hardware should be running (air

conditioning)Adding new appliances like VOIP devices

Change criteria from Tier 1 (if applicable)

8/14/2019 Broadband CoC Meeting 081104 Jaekel

9/14

Different Tiers for Faster Success

Tier 3:

Adding more appliances (if useful)

Adjusting the criteria and limits Looking on new developments and features

Proposal for Limits for Tier 1

Common standards for measurement?

Measurements

All devices: Electrical consumptiondepends on load? (if so then define max.

load as default measure point ?) Devices with standby mode: Defining

standby mode and procedure to wake itup again

Using existing standard to measure thepower consumption

Who should Sign/Join this CoC?

Many appliances (especially form Tier 1) aresold in a bundle. Therefore, the provider shouldsign tis agreement.

Manufacturer for end user equipment should

sign the agreement. Manufacturer for networking infrastructure

should join the group and sign. Groups for standardization of networking

equipment, networking protocols andnetworking services should join this group
