In telecommunications, cable Internet access, shortened to cable Internet, is a form of broadband internet access which uses the same infrastructure as cable television. Like digital subscriber line (DSL) and fiber to the premises , cable Internet access provides network edge connectivity ( last mile access) from the Internet service provider ...
In a hybrid fiber-coaxial cable system, television channels are sent from the cable system's distribution facility, the headend, to local communities through optical fiber subscriber lines. At the local community, an optical node translates the signal from a light beam to radio frequency (RF), and sends it over coaxial cable lines for ...
The Com21 system used a ComController as the central bridge in CATV network head-ends, the ComPort cable modem in various models and the NMAPS management system using HP OpenView as the platform. Later they also introduced a return path multiplexer to overcome noise problems when combining return path signals from multiple areas.
A cable modem termination system (CMTS, also called a CMTS Edge Router) [1] is a piece of equipment, typically located in a cable company's headend or hubsite, which is used to provide data services, such as cable Internet or Voice over IP, to cable subscribers.
Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) is an international telecommunications standard that permits the addition of high-bandwidth data transfer to an existing cable television (CATV) system. It is used by many cable television operators to provide cable Internet access over their existing hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC ...
The PLC splitter is a micro-optical element using photolithographic techniques to form optical waveguide at medium or semiconductor substrate for realizing branch distribution function. For example, graded-index silica-glass waveguides could be used to fabricate PLC optical splitters, and the splitting ratio can be simply adjusted during the ...
Brightcove CEO Marc DeBevoise said Warner Bros Discovery's new corporate structure will differentiate growing studio and streaming assets from profitable but shrinking cable TV business, giving a ...
In a switched video system, the unwatched channels do not need to be sent. In US cable systems, equipment in the home sends a channel request signal back to the distribution hub. If a channel is requested, the distribution hub allocates a QAM channel and transmits the channel to the coaxial cable.
