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 network systems.
After introducing the fundamental concepts of broadband
communication systems, the book discusses Internet-based networks, such as
intranets and extranets. It then addresses the networking technologies of X.25
and frame relay, fiber channels, a synchronous optical network (SONET), a
virtual private network (VPN), an integrated service digital network (ISDN),
broadband ISDN (B-ISDN), and ATM. The authors also cover access networks,
including digital subscriber lines (DSL), cable modems, and passive optical
networks, as well as explore wireless networks, such as wireless data services,
personal communications services (PCS), and satellite communications. The book
concludes with chapters on network management, network security, and network
testing, fault tolerance, and analysis.
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. Requiring only a general knowledge of
communication systems theory, the text is suitable for a one- or two-semester
course for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in engineering
as well as for short seminars on broadband communication
