The Ethernet in the First Mile Alliance (EFMA) is a non-profit international industry consortium. It has been established in 2001[1] to promote standards-based Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) technologies and products and position EFM as a key networking technology for the Access network.

In 2005 with the completion of 802.3ah standard by the IEEE, the EFMA became part of the Metro Ethernet Forum.[2]
