Advanced Fiber Access Networks

Advanced Fiber Access Networks takes a holistic view of broadband access networks--from architecture to network technologies and network economies. The book reviews pain points and challenges that broadband service providers face (such as network construction, fiber cable efficiency, transmission challenges, network scalability, etc.) and how these challenges are tackled by new fiber access transmission technologies, protocols and architecture innovations. Chapters cover fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) applications as well as fiber backhauls in other access networks such as 5G wireless and hybrid-fiber-coax (HFC) networks. In addition, it covers the network economy, challenges in fiber network construction and deployment, and more.

Finally, the book examines scaling issues and bottlenecks in an end-to-end broadband network, from Internet backbones to inside customer homes, something rarely covered in books.

《先進光纖接入網路》從架構到網路技術和網路經濟的角度全面探討寬頻接入網路。本書回顧了寬頻服務提供商面臨的痛點和挑戰（如網路建設、光纖電纜效率、傳輸挑戰、網路擴展性等），以及新的光纖接入傳輸技術、協議和架構創新如何應對這些挑戰。各章節涵蓋了光到家（FTTH）應用以及其他接入網路（如5G無線和混合光纖同軸網路）中的光纖回程。此外，本書還涵蓋了網路經濟、光纖網路建設和部署中的挑戰等內容。

最後，本書還探討了從互聯網主幹到客戶家中的端到端寬頻網路的擴展問題和瓶頸，這在其他書籍中很少涉及。
