Let There Be Light and Broadband Internet

Overview Home users are in need for broadband communications access, globally. Broadband over power-lines transmission has advanced throughout the last decade, and it is going to be a mature last-mile access in near future. Meanwhile, indoor optical wireless communications (optical WiFi) through lighting LEDs has been investigated, recently. Suitable channel models are proposed for each of these systems and the corresponding transmission capacity values are presented. It is shown that a combination of these two techniques provides an efficient way of fulfilling the premise of broadband access for home networking, while providing efficient and low-cost lighting.

What's the fuss about... broadband communications

The xDSL range (where 'x' stands for 'whatever') enables transmission of very high data rates across the so-called 'last mile' - the pairs of wires that run from local telephone exchanges to homes and offices.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: The right technology for the right job

The technology is now proven, stable and economically viable, and we are in a position to revolutionise the last mile. So it does make sense for wireless technology to be used at that end point, in a distribution mode to attack the last mile.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Superhighway? What superhighway?

This is a much required technology partnership needed to overcome the logjam of ancient copper cables and horded optical fibre capacity that none of us can access. Where is that high-speed optical fibre to every home and office?

Devil's Advocate: VoIP not for everyone

One is the move towards IP from other kinds of digital transmission, another is the trend to take digital voice all the way to the handset and a third is the merging of voice and data networks. There is a good deal of interest in using low-cost...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
