Features: Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) is currently a hot topic in the international and domestic fields of communication and information, serving as the foundation for establishing an information superhighway. The current Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) can only integrate voice, data, and static image services, limited to 64 kbit/s. With the development of human society, the 21st century will usher in a highly information-based society, requiring the processing of high-definition, large-screen image services and high-speed data services. This necessitates new switching technologies and optical fiber transmission technologies capable of exchanging and transmitting information with bandwidths of hundreds of megabits. These technologies can handle the transmission of various types of information, integrate diverse communication services into multimedia communication technology, and enable networking. This is the role of B-ISDN (Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network). This book is suitable for faculty and students of higher education institutions related to national defense and civilian communications, as well as communication technology management personnel in fields such as postal and telecommunications and electronics.
