Broadband Optical Access Networks and Fiber-to-the-Home
Author: Chinlon Lin
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470094796
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
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.

Information and Communications Technologies in Society
Author: Ben Anderson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134175663
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
There is a growing body of work examining the ‘consequences’, or more accurately the inter-relationships between information and communications technologies (ICTs) and society at the microsocial (individual, household) level. The vast majority of this work has so far been focused on the US and the subsequent publications have consequently provided predominantly US-centred analyses. This book will re-dress this balance by providing analyses of the situation in Europe and is associated states and placing the analyses in the context of both European and International research and policy debates. The book uses data from a range of European countries as well as comparisons with Asia and the USA. Students and academics from a range of disciplines including sociology, business and management and new media will find this book to be a valuable addition to their reading lists.

Internet and Wireless Security
Author: Robert Temple
Publisher: IET
ISBN: 0852961979
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
As computer security experts with BTexact Technologies, UK, Temple and Renault broach not only technical aspects of the Internet's future covered by these 16 contributed chapters but also the pivotal issue of user trust. In the preface, a colleague of theirs contends that concerns about computer security are impeding wider adoption of electronic commerce by businesses and consumers. Given that people remain the weakest link in human-computer interactions, contributors expand upon the theme of trust via an "iTrust" integrated architecture program, public key cryptology infrastructures (for wired and wireless environments), biometrics, and other approaches to information assurance. The last chapter overviews the latest security management standard and its policy, technical, and commercial implications. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
