the industry, enabling operators to significantly increase the
broadband speeds they provide their customers. Alcatel-Lucent is at
the forefront of this new technology and supporting interoperability
with ecosystem players like Sagemcom is important to ensure an end to
end G.fast solution is available to operators as quickly and widely
as possible."
