Broadband Optical Access and Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) will provide the ultimate
broadband service capabilities. Compared with the currently well-deployed broadband
access technologies of ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) and Cable Modems,
optical broadband access with Fiber-to-the-User.s home will cater for much higher
speed access for new services.

Broadband Optical Access Networks and Fiber-to-the-Home presents a comprehensive
technical overview of key technologies and deployment strategies for optical
broadband access networks and emerging new broadband services. The authors discuss
network design considerations, new services, deployment trends and operational
experiences, while explaining the current situation and providing insights into
future broadband access technologies and services.

Broadband Optical Access Networks and Fiber-to-the-Home:

Offers a comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to new developments in broadband
access network technologies and services.
Examines the impact of research and development in photonics technologies on
broadband access and FTTH.
Covers ADSL, VDSL with FTTC (Fiber-to-the-Curb), Cable Modem over HFC (Hybrid-
Fiber Coax) and Gigabit Ethernet.
Discusses the roles of Broadband Wireless LAN and integrated FTTH/Wireless
Broadband Access as well as Broadband Home Networks.
Provides a global view of broadband network development, presenting different
technical and system deployment approaches and strategic considerations for
comparison. Gives insight into the worldwide broadband competition and the future
of this technology.
Broadband Optical Access Networks and Fiber-to-the-Home will be an invaluable
resource for engineers in research and development, network planners, business
managers, consultants as well as analysts and educators for a better understanding
of the future of broadband in the field of telecommunications, data communications,
and broadband multimedia service industries.
