«Who are You Mr.

Time passed, and now we can more fully answer this question.
Let's start with the specification. Actually Broadband is only the name of this gentleman. He still has the name Access.

In fact, as the gentlemen Broadband Access (BBA) two.
The first of the BBA has an alias High Speed ​​Interface Access (HSIA), which translated to English literally means ...

The only talent of Mr. HSIA is a high speed, and so it can be well managed only with traffic data. This gentleman is absolutely powerless to multimedia traffic, which is a random mix of voice traffic, data traffic and video traffic, known as Triple Play.
Therefore, Mr BBA Number 2 has an alias Triple Play.

Each of the three types of traffic Triple Play has its weaknesses. Thus, data traffic is critical to error, the traffic of the speech signal is sensitive to delay, and video traffic - to fluctuations in the time delay, called jitter.

Therefore, Mr. Triple Play has to be much more capable than Mr. HSIA and enjoy not only high-speed transmission, but also to identify and eliminate bogus packets to reduce delay time and jitter.

In the total amount of telecommunications traffic increasing place is Triple Play.
Therefore, Mr. HSIA will soon be sent into retirement, and then Mr. Triple Play will be the only BBA Mr. And in the translation from English - Mr. ...

Also mention that the little Finland with a population of just over 5 million people turned out to be the first country in the world that gave citizenship rights to Mr. BBA. It was July 1, 2010, when the Diet of Finland took on this occasion a special law under which every citizen of Finland will have broadband access at speeds of at least 1 Mbit / s. from July 1, 2010, 2 Mbit / s in 2012 and at least 100 Mbit / s in 2015.

We also recall that before the BBA existed for many years been widely used so-called Dial - Up method of customer access, which is at the peak of his career, had a limited capacity less than 56 kbit / s. The latter was achieved only for a sufficiently rare combination of network topology, and noise parameters of an ideal network.

This name of this method and its low capacity attributable to the fact that his work was used a standard telephone channel with a bandwidth of just over 3 kHz, and the activation of access performed by dialing a modem pool.

Next, you mention appeared in the 80s of last century, quite a remarkable telecommunication technology called Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), or ...

The title refers to two ISDN its main features. The first is that the network is fully digital. The second, represented by the word «Integrated», reflects the fact that in this network, there is only one universal transport element, which can carry all the signals of communication - both speech and data and all other. In addition to the television. This versatile vehicle is a major element of the digital channel (BCC) with a capacity of 64 kbit / s. Each user is provided with two ISDN network of channels - one for the transmission of the speech signal and the other - to transfer data. Even if you combine the two BCC, you can get a throughput in excess of the capacity of Dial-Up mode is little more than a factor of 2. Therefore, a new generation of ISDN was still a prefix «BroadBand» and it was accordingly referred to as B-ISDN or ...

Such technology has solved the problem of broadband services to large corporations, but it was not suitable due to high costs for the majority of users - residents, as well as representatives of small and medium businesses.

However, for many reasons, it is time to stop.

Of course, experts have found a reasonable way out of this situation, using the existing infrastructure of the public telephone network ( PSTN ) and cable television networks ( CATV ). New technologies are called «Digital Suscriber Line» (. DSL. ) Or ... The present state of these technologies is that they allow you to provide residential users and users of small and medium-sized capacities up to 100 Mbit / c.

To expand the capacity of these two major decisions were brought remarkable properties of fiber- optic cables (FOC). While the broad involvement of the FOC is almost done only with respect to the PSTN, and related technologies have been called «Fiber To The x», or FTTx.

Sincerely,.
And you. B.
