Recommendation ITU-T G.984.3 describes the transmission convergence layer for gigabit-capable passive optical networks – a family of flexible access networks capable of providing a range of broadband and narrow-band services, operating at the rates of 2.48832 Gbit/s downstream and 1.24416 or 2.48832 Gbit/s upstream.

This Recommendation is intended to: • Describe flexible access networks using optical fibre technology. The focus is primarily on a network to support services including plain old telephone service (POTS), data, video, leased line and distributive services.
