High speed cable modems are the technical link that will bring the Internet and video-on-demand to the cable-ready TVs in our homes. This great leap forward will hit the market in 1997, and this is the book with the inside information on how it works. The author couldn’t be closer to the process; he codeveloped the benchmark technical standard for cable modems. He explains the theoretical basics of the technology and the 802.14 standard, as well as practical implementation aspects related to video, data, and voice transmission.
Get the inside story on high-speed cable modems–and the IEE HSM standard–from a key member of the IEEE 802.14 team! The Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the phenomenal growth of the Internet have combined to spark a new telecommunications revolution and an intensified worldwide bandwidth race. High-speed cable modems are a pivotal new technology for delivering the enormous bandwidth required to rapidly move full-motion video and other multimedia information across the Internet to and from homes and businesses around the world.
