Introduction To Broadband Communication Systems

0.0

Broadband networks, such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), frame relay, and leased lines, allow us to easily access multimedia services (data, voice, and video) in one package. Exploring why broadband networks are important in modern-day telecommunications, Introduction to Broadband Communication Systems covers the concepts and components of both standard and emerging broadband communication networks systems. With up-to-date, detailed information on the state-of-the-art technology in broadband communication systems, this resource illustrates how some networks have the potential of eventually replacing traditional dial-up Internet. Key Feature Presents the latest advances and technology in broadband communication systems, such as IPv6, next-generation SONET, and WiMax Treats wireless data andpersonal communication services in separate chapters Covers cable modems, passive optical networks, and network security, testing, and analysis Includes end-of-chapter exercises to reinforce concepts in the text.
