Unlike the two other trials in <strong>Huntingdon<\/strong> (Cambridgeshire) and <strong>Gosforth<\/strong> (Newcastle), which will both focus on connecting around<strong> 2,000 homes<\/strong> to the service, the Swansea test will be conducted on a smaller scale.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a><\/strong> technology is, on the surface, not dissimilar in its approach to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s existing 80Mbps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> &#8220;<em>fibre broadband<\/em>&#8221; technology. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> takes a fibre optic cable from the telephone exchange and pushes it to your local street cabinet, but after that the broadband is delivered into homes over existing copper cables using VDSL technology (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> can work with some premises as far away as 2,000 metres from the cabinet, although it prefers sub-400m).<\/p>\n<p>By comparison <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a> uses significantly more radio spectrum (106MHz+ vs just 17MHz for FTTC) and operates over a much shorter final run of copper cable (ideally less than 100 metres), which means that the fibre optic cable has to be taken even closer to homes (usually as far as a small distribution point [FTTdp] that could be built on top of telegraph poles, inside a street cabinet or even put underground).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Mike Galvin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s MD of Strategy and Operations, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>BT\u2019s research into ultrafast \u2018G.fast\u2019 technology is now moving out of the labs and into the field.
