MGFAST: A New Generation of Copper Broadband Access

The ITU-T project G.mgfast defines the MGFAST technology providing aggregate bit rates of up to 10 Gb/s over twisted pair and coaxial wiring. The first volume of the Recommendation is to be completed in January 2020. Multi-gigabitper- second access to the customer premises is achieved by substantial expansion of frequency spectrum, advanced coding, and use of full-duplex transmission. In addition, MGFAST can provide sub-millisecond latency, enhanced support of multiple quality of service grades, and point-to-multipoint operation.
