Swisscom Deploys G.fast

In the medium to long term, Swisscom intends to supply 85 percent of all Swiss households and businesses with bandwidth of at least 100 Mbps by the end of 2020.

As part of that effort, Swisscom is deploying G.fast, which allows Swisscom to reach transmission speeds of up to 500 Mbps on networks with relatively short copper drop cables and optical fiber distribution networks.

As with advances in hybrid fiber coax technology,  better radios, signal processing and advanced modulation techniques for mobile and fixed wireless, bandwidth on fixed, mobile and wireless networks is possible because Internet service providers are able to use more frequencies on copper and wireless transmission systems.

In other words, advances in spectrum management are boosting Internet access speeds on cable TV, digital subscriber line, mobile and fixed wireless networks.
