Recommendation ITU-T G.9711 specifies a multi-gigabit broadband access technology that exploits the existing infrastructure of wire-pairs and coaxial cable that were originally deployed for plain old telephone service (POTS) or TV services. Equipment implementing this Recommendation can be deployed from fibre-fed distribution points (fibre to the distribution point, FTTdp) located in close proximity to customer premises, or within buildings, including MDUs and business facilities (fiber to the building). This Recommendation supports asymmetric and symmetric transmission at an aggregate net data rate up to 8 Gbit/s on metallic wires using spectrum up to 424 MHz and provides functionalities for far-end crosstalk (FEXT) and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) cancellation between multiple wire-pairs.
