Next Generation Access
Glossary page
The term "next generation access" refers to next-generation access networks that enable high bit rates. These networks can either consist of fiber-optic lines with a minimum speed of 40 Mbit/s downstream and 15 Mbit/s upstream, or a cable network with a speed of up to 50 Mbit/s or more. In addition, new office and residential buildings can be connected via a fiber-optic cable network with speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s, as specified in the EU Broadband Expansion Guideline of September 2010.
