Alcatel Lucent launches G.fast home networking device

NEW DELHI: ICT solutions provider Alcatel-Lucent has launched a new device, G.fast, for residential and business use that allows operators to accelerate the deployment of ultra-broadband access in order to meet the growing demand for faster data speeds.

The company's G.fast residential gateway is a plug-and-play device that will eliminate the need for operators’ engineers to enter a customer’s premises to install. With the number of connected devices expected to reach 50-100 billion by 2021, the demand for more bandwidth and faster broadband speeds has never been greater. Fiber-to-the-home and G.fast technologies allow operators to bring gigabit broadband speeds to premises, a release said.

However, maintaining those speeds inside a building can be more difficult with legacy home networks, poor Wi-Fi speeds and reliability issues limiting how fast and how much data consumers can access at any given time. This problem becomes compounded as more devices are added onto the home network.

Alcatel-Lucent’s new G.fast home networking device solves this problem. To help deliver greater in-home coverage across all connected devices, the G.fast residential gateway also delivers concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi to provide even greater signal strength and 1Gbps data speeds, eliminating the need to run fiber into the home.

Part of a complete end-to-end portfolio of Alcatel-Lucent ultra-broadband solutions, the new G.fast residential gateway also provides a more efficient way to power the growing number of distribution point units essential for delivering on the G.fast standard.

With an integrated reverse power feed capability that powers the remote G.fast distribution point unit, operators no longer need to connect the distribution points locally to the power grid, the release added.

“ With solutions such as Alcatel-Lucent new G.fast CPE, operators can quickly and easily deliver on the promise of fiber network speeds and provide end users with the full ultra-broadband experience they have come to expect across both wireless and wired devices in the connected home,” said Jeff Heynen, Research Director for Broadband Access and Pay TV at Infonetics Research.

“Combining the latest Wi-Fi and G.fast technology, operators can now easily deliver fiber-like speeds into the home without ever having to drill a hole or run wires. The new CPE will provide operators with simply way to help customers maximize the full potential of their connected home today and for years to come,” said Federico Guillén, President of Alcatel-Lucent’s Fixed Access Business Line.
