WHAT IS G.FAST?
G.FAST IS THE NEXT GENERATION ULTRA BROADBAND STANDARD RECOMMENDED BY THE INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS UNION (ITU). THIS NEW STANDARD IS DESIGNED TO BRING AFFORDABLY, HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE BROADBAND ACCESS TO THE MASSES.
ULTRA BROADBAND
G.fast provides up to 1Gbps of ultra broadband access to consumers over their existing copper telephone wiring by moving the broadband connections to the distribution points that are close to the home.
FAST AND EASY TO DEPLOY
G.fast doesn’t require an in-home installation. The service is provisioned outside the home and a homeowner is given a customer-installable device. This saves hassles for both the consumer and the telcos.
HIGH RELIABILITY
G.fast is much more reliable than traditional xDSL technologies and will have fewer lost connections, more stable performance and faster recovery times if trouble occurs than any other copper-wired solution.
PERFECT FOR MDUS
G.fast is the best technology to deliver ultra broadband to consumers who live in apartment buildings and other multi-dwelling units. The technology leverages existing copper wiring in hard-to-access buildings and provides a way for service providers to affordably work with building owners to deliver the performance they all want.
LOWEST COST PER MEGABIT DELIVERED
There has never been a more effective or cost-efficient broadband access technology. G.fast delivers fiber performance for as little as 10% of the cost to deploy FTTH.
ZERO TOUCH MAINTENANCE
Through new remote management and monitoring tools and better design for working with existing infrastructure, G.fast is expected to be a ultra-low cost technology to manage.
