RFoG, Radio Frequency over Glass.
Disappointingly turns an Optical Fibre into a Coax, but without the losses.
It meant that VM could roll out a full fibre network but deliver the exact same services as it’s HFC network (with the exact same limitations) but not need to change any of the back office systems and headend kit.
Because the FTTP network is passive, it doesn’t matter what you put over it. RFoG today, tomorrow XGS-PON. XGS-PON was always the end game and still is.
The HFC will get you to 10G, and probably beyond but it is estimated it will be at end of life between 2035-2040. So a fibre overbuild will be required.
There is a lot of work to be done with the backbone Access network architecture before you get to the delivery.
