We present a unified description of the low-temperature phase of granular metals that reveals a striking generality of the low-temperature behaviors. Our model explains the universality of the low-temperature conductivity that coincides exactly with that of the homogeneously disordered systems and enables a straightforward derivation of low-temperature characteristics of disordered conductors.
