Digital Transmission Networks

  • David R. Smith
Chapter

Abstract

  • Describes the development of private digital transmission networks that provide greater intelligence and control at the customer’s premise

  • Discusses the application of digital transmission to new, emerging communication networks, that provide mobile, wireless connections to the individual

  • Covers both wide area networks, including narrowband and broadband integrated services digital network (ISDN) and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks

  • Describes optical networks, including active and passive optical networks, transparent and opaque networks, and layered optical networks

Keywords
