{{See also |Hybrid Access Networks}}

In some regions, notably in rural areas, the length of the copper lines makes it difficult for network operators to provide high-bandwidth services. One alternative is to combine a fixed-access network, typically [[XDSL]], with a wireless network, typically LTE. The [[Broadband Forum]] has standardized an architecture for such Hybrid Access Networks.
