Energia Communications (EneCom) is preparing the first commercial deployment of G.fast technology in Japan, initially in the Chugokua region starting in June 2016. The ICT service provider will use its existing copper networks to quickly deliver up to 1Gbps ultra-broadband access to residential subscribers.
The G.fast solution, developed by Nokia’s Bell Labs, uses built-in vectoring technology to effectively reduce cross-talk interference that typically impacts data speeds over copper networks, enabling EneCom to achieve speeds close to 1Gbps.
The deployment includes:
The 7367 Intelligent Service Access Manager (ISAM) SX-16 which supports G.fast for multiple users and delivers 16 vectored G.fast ports in a climate-controlled and ruggedized housing unit
The 7368 ISAM CPE F-010G-P with non-blocking gigabit Ethernet connections for home devices
5520 Access Management System which streamlines the management, configuration, maintenance and troubleshooting of the G.fast network

You just read about Nokia. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Elenion Technologies built Silicon photonics and coherent optical modules. What became of it?
Elenion Technologies brought Silicon photonics and coherent optical modules to Optical. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Nokia. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Nokia today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about Fast. Here is what it replaced:
FDDI served 1987–1990. What ultimately replaced it?
FDDI a 100 Mbit/s dual counter-rotating fiber token ring; the second ring wrapped around a break to self-heal, and timed token rotation bounded latency for campus backbones. Its job passed to Fast — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
