Broadband Access - Wireline and Wireless - Alternatives for Internet Services

Broadband Access: Wireline and Wireless Alternatives for Triple Play Services covers both the technology that is currently being deployed by network providers and the technology that has recently been or will soon be standardized for deployment in the next 5 years. The side-by-side comparison of the technologies allows competitive network providers to evaluate the alternatives. Each of the individual chapters/sections will be of great value for use in training and education of engineering development, sales, marketing, field applications, and product validation organizations in companies developing or deploying broadband access equipment. Broadband access networks are the focus of investment for telecommunications network providers and equipment manufacturers around the globe, and this trend is expected to continue for at least the coming decade.§The book covers the following topics: Fiber Optic Medium (IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON), ITU-T/FSAN Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON), IEEE 802.3av 10 Gbit/s EPON, Introduction to wave division multiplex Passive Optical Network (WDM PON), Brief introduction to code division multiple access Passive Optical Network (CDMA PON), Brief discussion to current Fiber to the Curb and ITU-T/FSAN Broadband PON (BPON), Copper wire medium (VDSL2, ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+, SHDSL, HDSL, HDSL2&4, DSL bonding, spectrum management, dynamic spectrum management, vectoring, MIMO, DSL standards, Data Over Cable System Interface Specification version 3 (DOCSIS 3.0), Powerline carrier) and Wireless medium (IEEE 802.11 WLAN and WiFi, IEEE 802.15 WPAN, IEEE 802.16 WMAN and WiMax, IEEE 802.20 WWAN and IEEE 802.21 Handover).
