AT SUMMARY Chairman: Dominique Roche   The Technical Committee Access and Terminals (AT) is the "home" for terminal matters within ETSI, established on the basis of a technical area and on the global market sector of Telecommunications Terminals. AT is organized around a set of ETSI work items addressing specific technology and regulatory areas. AT will centre its activity on the field of: interface technologies used in publicly offered wired terminal interfaces; emerging technologies and their application to terminals; compatibility amongst technologies used, considering available infrastructures; analogue presented wired interfaces of Telecommunications Networks; digital presented wired interfaces of Telecommunications Networks interfaces based on new technologies as far as they are relevant for Telecommunications Terminals; performance, features and functions supporting Telecommunications services implemented on terminals. The interfaces referred to above could be public or private, switched or non-switched, seen from either the network or the terminal side. They use well established technologies (POTS/PSTN or ISDN) or, in close collaboration with other Technical Bodies (TBs) may use new technologies (e.g. IP, CATV) or be extensions to terminals interfaces of existing technologies used normally in networks (e.g. xDSL, Optical). TC AT consists of four Working Groups: WG Analogue: Analogue Technologies analogue interfaces analogue aspects of new technologies, e.g. xDSL speech applications in terminals study of the usage of the spectrum in existing wired home installations. WG Digital: Broadband/narrowband digital, data and multimedia technologies Telecom services delivered over cable TV networks optical SDH for terminals ATM for terminals IP applications to terminals digital interfaces data, including facsimile, and multimedia aspects of terminals WG Features: features and functions for Telecom services development of features in terminals consistency with related services descriptions relevant functions in terminals (SMS, MMS, CLI, AoC, etc), especially those supporting Telecom services; WG NGN@Home:  Next Generation Networks [NGN] in the home environment (ppt) home access network to Internet interoperability between the various home network end devices and various home hub technologies standardized approach to Next Generation Networks at home and home intelligent devices technologies the driving concept for NGN @ home can be summarised by: ٭ my home everywhere ٭ all services, via all technologies, for all users everywhere.... TG Installations and Cabling: Task Group for Installations design and cabling practice support the standardization work in CENELEC cabling studies communications systems' relation to installations and cabling lists standardization for installations and cabling TC AT was preceded by EP ATA and EP DTA, two ETSI Projects that are now closed.
