Description

With the advent of cable modems and Digital Subscriber Lines, modem technology has entered a highly sophisticated realm that is light years beyond PC modems. Integrating and interoperating at high levels with the telephony and broadcast infrastructure to allow for faster, clearer transmission of data-intensive Web pages, DSLs and cable modems are competing for attention in this massive emerging market. Offering simple explanations and in-depth comparisons, this book considers the whole range of strategic, technical and investment concerns, from cost analysis and bandwidth limitations to suitability for various business and residential applications.
