Study Notes
Overview of Broadband Access Technology
- The main objective of this chapter is to understand broadband, its need, various technologies, and broadband network.
- The evolution of computer networking and packet switching has led to a new era of integrated communication in the telecom world.
Definition of Broadband
- Broadband refers to high-speed digital Internet access.
- It indicates a means of connectivity at a high or broad bandwidth.
- Various definitions of broadband include:
- A term for evolving digital technologies that provide customers a high-speed data network connection.
- A signal-switched facility offering integrated access to voice, data, video, and interactive delivery services.
- An advanced telecommunications capability defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
- Delivers services and facilities with an upstream and downstream speed of 200 Kbps or more.
- In India, Broadband connectivity is defined as an "always-on" data connection with a minimum download speed of 512 kbps.
Characteristics of Broadband
- Broadband refers to greater bandwidth or transmission capacity of a medium.
- Broadband technology allows for high-speed transmission of voice, video, and data over networks like the Internet.
Implementation of Broadband
- The Government of India has formulated a Broadband Policy to:
- Establish a regulatory framework for the carriage and content of information in the scenario of convergence.
- Facilitate development of national infrastructure for an information-based society.
- Make available broadband interactive multimedia services to users in the public network.
- Provide high-speed data and multimedia capability using new technologies to all towns with a population greater than 2 lakhs.
- Make available Internet services at the panchayat (village) level for access to information.
Need of Broadband
- The concept of socio-economy has an important role in the field of communication of data, audio, video, speech, or any other kind of application.
- Service providers and customers are interested in economy with the fastest tool of communication with more throughput.
- Technology divisions are shaped by geography and infrastructure.
ADSL Technology
- xDSL refers collectively to all types of digital subscriber lines, including ADSL, SDSL, HDSL, and VDSL.
- xDSL technology is backed by telephone companies to provide next-generation high-bandwidth services to the home and business using existing telephone cooper cabling infrastructure.
- xDSL technology uses a greater range of frequencies over the telephone cable than traditional telephone services, allowing for greater bandwidth.
- xDSL technology has evolved greatly over the past few years and is still in development to achieve even greater bandwidth as demand rises.
