Broadband Optical Access Networks and Fiber-to-the-Home: Systems Technologies and... at Dominant Systems Book Store

Broadband Optical Access and Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) will provide the ultimate broadband service capabilities.

Compared with the currently well-deployed broadband access technologies of ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) and Cable Modems, optical broadband access with Fiber-to-the-User’s home will cater for much higher speed access for new services.

Broadband Optical Access Networks and Fiber-to-the-Home presents a comprehensive technical overview of key technologies and deployment strategies for optical broadband access networks and emerging new broadband services. The authors discuss network design considerations, new services, deployment trends and operational experiences, while explaining the current situation and providing insights into future broadband access technologies and services.

Broadband Optical Access Networks and Fiber-to-the-Home:

Offers a comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to new developments in broadband access network technologies and services.
Examines the impact of research and development in photonics technologies on broadband access and FTTH.
Covers ADSL, VDSL with FTTC (Fiber-to-the-Curb), Cable Modem over HFC (Hybrid-Fiber Coax) and Gigabit Ethernet.
Discusses the roles of Broadband Wireless LAN and integrated FTTH/Wireless Broadband Access as well as Broadband Home Networks.
Provides a global view of broadband network development, presenting different technical and system deployment approaches and strategic considerations for comparison.
Gives insight into the worldwide broadband competition and the future of this technology.

Broadband Optical Access Networks and Fiber-to-the-Home will be an invaluable resource for engineers in research and development, network planners, business managers, consultants as well as analysts and educators for a better understanding of the future of broadband in the field of telecommunications, data communications, and broadband multimedia service industries.

Customer Reviews & Comments
The basic concept of ASDL broadband service to the home was developed many years ago. Then it took the telephone companies a very long time to learn enough about it to enable it to be brought to the home. Then in the last half dozen or so years it has become ubiquitous all around the country, and fiercely competitive. Intially arguments were made that the home simply had no need for such fast communications. Today the same arguments are being made that the home has no need for gigabit level communications. What would you call it, 'Super Broadband?' But as before in countries around the world are pioneering Fiber To The Home (FTTH). This book is a current up to the date review of FTTH, what has been done, what is being done, and where it is going. It is written by a series of experts from around the world who can relate what has been happening in their respective countries, companies, or organizations. These contributors include people from Korea, Japan and Sweden where pioneering work has already been done. It includes technology developers from Bell Labs, Morotola, British Telcom and more. This is the state of the art in FTTH.
