atis launches iptv standards forum
08/01/2005
TECHNICAL PLANNING AND STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION ATIS HAS created the IPTV Interoperability Forum (IIF) to develop standards and related technical and operations activities around IPTV. “The ATIS IIF will provide the industry with the big picture for IPTV technology standardization,” says Kevin Schneider, CTO of ADTRAN Inc. and co-chair of the ATIS IPTV Exploratory Group, which was formed in April to examine the technical issues surrounding the successful wide-scale deployment of IPTV. “ATIS will create an overall reference architecture supporting deployment of IPTV and work with standards groups external to ATIS to establish standards that produce an end-to-end IPTV solution.” The scope of the IIF includes: coordination of standards activities for IPTV technologies, including acting as a liaison with outside groups; development of interoperability agreements, technical reports and ATIS standards; and providing the venue for interoperability activities and the assessment of IPTV issues in the context of next-generation networks. Initial objectives of the IIF will include: the creation of an industry overall reference architecture for IPTV; content security; interoperability standards and testing requirements for components; restoration after outages; QoS; path establishment; reliability and robustness of service components; the establishment of user expectations; and more.
