OVERVIEW
Battles for bandwidth have consumed the telecommunications and information industry of late, with cable modems and xDSL technologies at the forefront of the debate over who can provide the most, the cheapest, and the best.
Cable Modems: Current Technologies and Applications, copublished by the International Engineering Consortium and the IEEE Press, is an indispensable resource for those cable companies, ISPs, RBOCs, vendors, and analysts looking to navigate through the hype and emerge on top-ahead of the competition.
This volume delivers the facts on today's cable-modem market and suggestions for capitalizing on the opportunities of the future. The many advantages of cable-modem deployment are explored. For example, the cable-modem industry has evolved to 200,000 lines deployed by more than 15 service providers worldwide that are now poised for interoperable, standards-compliant technology deployment.
Cable modems can also offer megabit access to the Internet and the World Wide Web at the affordable price of about $40 per month. Interest in cable modems is growing exponentially in U.S. and international markets. With this growth, service providers (i.e., cable operators) are now taking an active interest in bringing technology to market and deploying it quickly and effectively. In addition, cable modems can provide easy scalability of the Internet and World Wide Web, which is of crucial interest to service providers, equipment vendors, regulators, and the academic and research community.
