Abstract

This paper discusses the different Broadband Technology and its applications. It is a high data rate connection to the internet – typically contrasted with dial-up access using a 56kbit/s modern. Dial-up modems are limited to a bit rate of about 60kbit/s and require the dedicated use of a telephone line-whereas broadband technologies supply more than this rate and generally without disrupting telephone use. The standard broadband technologies needed in this paper are Asymmetries Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and Cable Internet. The newest technology being deployed for mobile and stationary broadband access is WiMAX. WiMAX is a standards-based wireless technology that provides high-throughput broadband connections over long distances.
