As operators seek to push fiber deeper into the network, the reuse of in-building infrastructure as a coaxial network can yield enhanced Multigigabit speeds and reduced infrastructure costs. In competition with cable-TV service providers who are offering DOCSIS, operators have already been deploying Gfast over Point-To-Point (P2P) coaxial networks where such networks
