The book is compiled by multiple authors who possess extensive experience and international recognition in the field of access networks. Moreover, both the editor and most of the contributing authors participated in critical transformations of the UK's network, achieving broadband access through ADSL.
In response to the current shift in network infrastructure from narrowband to broadband, the book reviews several major and highly effective new access technologies, including ADSL, fiber optics, radio, hybrid fiber-coaxial cable, wireless LAN, GSM or 3G, satellite communication, and more.
This book is translated from Dr. Paul France's "Local Access Network Technologies," published by BT (British Telecom). The original book provides an overview of access network technologies, exploring key and highly effective new access technologies such as DSL, fiber access networks, optical access networks, fixed wireless access, broadband, wireless LAN, UMTS, SDH, and access network management issues based on TMN.
The book is compiled by multiple authors who possess extensive experience and international recognition in the field of access networks. Moreover, both the editor and most of the contributing authors participated in critical transformations of the UK's network, achieving broadband access through ADSL.
As the saying goes, "A stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade." Drawing on the access network technologies and development experience of British Telecom undoubtedly holds significant practical guidance for the design and deployment of access networks in China, as well as in access technologies and telecommunications policies.
