Abstract: | Different technologies for subscriber access are put side by side. Starting from the various transmission media characteristics of all systems, the well-known twisted pair lines with their corresponding digital subscriber line services are evaluated against wireless local loops, communications over ubiquitous power lines, high-bandwidth cable modems, and mobile radio. Each technology has its advantages and disadvantages. The different technologies will find their fields of applications. Most networks will have to provide a mixture of solutions for individual subscribers and customer segments to meet their boundary conditions. As a result, the future of subscriber access is a hybrid solution |
