In the digital age, broadband networks have become essential for accessing information, communicating with others, and conducting business. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to broadband networks, covering the fundamental principles, key technologies, and emerging trends. Chapter 1 introduces the basics of broadband, including its definition, types, and applications. Chapter 2 dives into optical networks, exploring fiber optic cables, network architectures, and technologies such as SONET/SDH, WDM, and DWDM. Chapter 3 focuses on Ethernet networks, covering technology overview, standards, protocols, architectures, and applications. Chapter 4 examines wireless networks, including cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth networks, and satellite networks. Chapter 5 explores broadband access technologies, such as DSL, cable modems, fiber to the home (FTTH), broadband over power lines (BPL), and broadband over satellite. Chapter 6 delves into network management, discussing concepts, tools, protocols, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting. Chapter 7 explores broadband applications, such as video streaming, voice over IP (VoIP), online gaming, cloud computing, and telemedicine. Chapter 8 examines broadband trends, including 5G networks, software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), edge computing, and artificial intelligence (AI). Chapter 9 delves into broadband policy, covering regulation, funding, access for all, economic development, and social impact. Finally, Chapter 10 explores the future of broadband, discussing broadband vision, emerging technologies, challenges and opportunities, broadband's role in the digital age, and broadband and sustainable development. Throughout the book, readers will find real-world examples, case studies, and practical tips to illustrate the concepts and applications of broadband networks. This book is designed to be a valuable resource for students, professionals, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of broadband technologies and their impact on modern society.

Scholarship in the Digital Age
"In Scholarship in the Digital Age, Christine Borgman explores the technical, social, legal, and economic aspects of the kind of infrastructure that we should be building for scholarly research in the twenty-first century." "Borgman describes the roles that information technology plays at every stage in the life cycle of a research project and contrasts these new capabilities with the relatively stable system of scholarly communication, which remains based on publishing in journals, books, and conference proceedings. Analyzing scholarly practices in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, Borgman compares each discipline's approach to infrastructure issues. In the process, she challenges the many stakeholders in the scholarly infrastructure--scholars, publishers, libraries, funding agencies, and others--to look beyond their own domains to address the interaction of technical, legal, economic, social, political, and disciplinary concerns. Scholarship in the Digital Age will provoke a conversation among all who depend on a rich and robust scholarly environment."--Jacket.
