Description
This book focuses on broadband distribution and systems architecture and concentrates on practical concepts that will allow the reader
to do their own design, improvement, and troubleshooting work. The objective is to enhance the skill sets of a large population that
designs and builds broadband cable plants, as well as those maintaining and troubleshooting it. A large cross-section of technical personnel
who need to learn these skills design, maintain, and service HFC systems from signal creation through transmission to reception and processing
at the customer end point. In addition, data/voice and video specialists need to master and reference the basics of HFC design and distribution
before contending with the intricacies of their own unique services. This book serves as an essential reference to all cable engineers—
those who specifically design and maintain the HFC distribution plant as well as those primarily concerned with data/voice technology
as well as video technology. Included is an online component consisting of spreadsheets that were used in developing the material presented
in the book.
Included in series
The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking
Audience:
Degreed engineers and non-degreed technical professionals involved in designing and building broadband distribution networks, as well
as those maintaining and troubleshooting them. Also useful as a study guide for candidates for SCTE certification (Society of Cable Telecommunications
Engineers).
