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.
Broadband networks, such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), frame

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.
