This paper describes the "Service Platform" concept as the infrastructure for the local network and its migration scenario in existing situation. By employing ATM technologies and Multi-CLAD in access networks, very flexible and simple local networks can be achieved even in STM (Synchronous Transfer Mode) environments. Moreover, they will evolve very smoothly to the future broadband network.
