As an overlay to the existing copper network the focus of GEA Fast Access provided over FTTC will be at sites where communications services already exist, thus complementing GEA delivered over FTTP which will primarily be deployed on new build sites.
Product information
Openreach has consulted with CPs with regard to GEA Fast Access over FTTC. A summary of the consultation responses and the revised GEA over FTTC Product Proposal (Issue 1.4) can be downloaded below.
GEA Fast Access over FTTC will initially deliver speeds of up to 40 Mbit/s and Openreach is investigating technologies which can increase these speeds to over 60 Mbit/s. Openreach's aim is that both urban and rural areas will be able to benefit from GEA Fast Access over FTTC and Openreach will work with Government, regional and local authorities to ensure that the roll-out is demand driven.
Further information on GEA over FTTC can be found on the Generic Ethernet Access page .
