    Presenting the latest advances in technology, "Introduction to Broadband Communications Systems" emphasizes the importance of broadband networks in modern-day telecommunications. This book considers key areas of broadband communications, including X.25 and frame relay, synchronous optical networks, virtual private networks, digital subscriber lines, integrated service digital networks, and broadband ISDN. The text provides complete coverage of passive optical, Internet-based, access, and wireless networks. It also addresses networking technologies, such as Next Generation SONET and fault-tolerant VPN, as well as network management and security, including the wireline broadband technology testbed.

  2. Introduction to Broadband Communication Systems [electronic resource]

    This book covers the typical broadband communication network systems. The question of why broadband networks are important in modern-day telecommunications is also covered. As evident from the outline, the book is divided into five parts. The book begins by providing the fundamental concepts of broadband communication systems. Part 1 discusses Internet-based networks-Internet, intranets, and extranets. Part 2 addresses networking technologies-X.25 and frame relay, fiber channel, synchronous optical network (SONET), virtual private network (VPN), integrated service digital network (ISDN), broadband ISDN (B-ISDN), and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). Part 3 focuses on access networks-digital subscriber line (DSL), cable modem, and passive optical networks. Part 4 deals with wireless networks-wireless data services, personal communications service (PCS), and satellite communications. Part 5 covers network management and network security. The book concludes with networking testing, fault tolerance, and analysis.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 systems.
