This document contains requirements for an interoperable public safety broadband communications nationwide network to serve all local, tribal, state, and federal first responder communications.

Development of meaningful elearning materials has become critical for many organisations in the corporate space, particularly those whose workforce is spread over huge geographical areas. Perhaps even located in different countries, and/or different campuses. The Next GTM network is providing rural and regional customers with their first-ever taste of broadband connectivity. The Next GTM networ...

A chorus of commentators has drawn inspiration from the ‘‘end-toend’’ argument first advanced by Saltzer, Reed, and Clark and called upon policy makers to mandate that last-mile broadband providers adhere to certain principles of network neutrality. In his contribution to this symposium, Professor Christopher Yoo offers an economic critique of these proposals. He first concludes that they are b...

Broadband, low loss and cost-effective transmission capability of optical fiber links has led to an ever-increasing interest in their use for the generation and distribution of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signals for broadband wireless access networks and sensor networks. In this paper, some new techniques in photonic generation of mm-wave signals for radio-over-fiber (RoF) network applications a...

Channel Capacity is of primary importance in broadband fixed wireless access (BFWA) networks due to the ever increasing demand for multimedia services and the possibility of providing wireless Internet. One of the major factors limiting capacity in such systems is inteiference originating from adjacent terrestrial applications belonging to the same BFWA network or to another. Moreover, the peif...

There is a growing interest in the development of broadband services and networks for commercial use in both local area and wide area networks. In particular, connectionless Switched Multilmegabit Data Service (SMDS) and connection-oriented Frame Relay based broadband services are beginning to be o ered by a number of major operators in the US and Europe. This paper considers the issues that ne...

The CATV industry sees itself as extending to become a FSN (full service network) provider, and so would like to offer data services, notably IP (Internet Protocol) connectivity. Cable companies have the raw network capacity to the home that gives them the potential to offer broadband services that can not be matched by traditional PSTN/modem connectivity. In the home, SoHo (small-office/home-o...

In present work, the nano- and microscale tetrapods from zinc oxide were integrated on the surface of Aerographite material (as backbone) in carbon-metal oxide hybrid hierarchical network via a simple and single step magnetron sputtering process. The fabricated hybrid networks are characterized for morphology, microstructural and optical properties. The cathodoluminescence investigations reveal...

This paper provides insights on the status of broadband optical access market and technologies in Europe and on the expected trends for the next generation optical access networks. The final target for most operators, cities or any other player is of course FTTH (Fibre To The Home) deployment although we can expect intermediate steps with copper or wireless technologies. Among the two candidate...
