What is Broadband?
In telecommunications,broadband is a wide bandwidth data transmission with an ability to simultaneously transport multiple signals and traffic types. The medium can be coaxial cable, optical fiber,radio or twisted pair.
Broadband provides a superior internet experience over dial up connection as it allows ease of downloading or uploading large-sized files or multimedia content web pages much faster. TRAI has defined Broadband as ‘an always-on’ data connection with minimum speeds of 512 Kbps.
What is Internet over Cable and how does it work?
It’s an always-on Internet service, where high speed Internet is delivered over special cables. This technology uses Fiber and Coaxial cables to deliver Internet that has a higher capacity and are more weather resistant in comparison to Telephone cables that are designed to carry voice only. Cable Internet uses a Cable Modem to communicate between your computer and the Internet. It works in very similar manner as the modem used for dial up connection, but converting your data requirements into a high speed form compatible with the cable infrastructure.
What is a Cable Modem?
Cable Internet uses a cable modem to communicate between your computer and the Internet.The interface is between the higher speed coaxial cable and your PC. A cable modem has a capacity to transmit data at upto 4 Mbps, which is many times higher than a typical 56 kbps dial up modem.
Do I need a modem?
Ordinary dial-up modems are not suited for cable internet. You need a special cable modem that would connect to your computer. When you take service from SCUD Broadband, at an additional cost the modem is provided by us.
What is FTTH ?
Fiber to the x (FTTX) is a generic term for any broadband network architecture using optical fiber to provide all or part of the local loop used for last mile. FTTX is a generalization for several configurations of fiber deployment, arranged into groups like FTTH/FTTB/FTTF (Fiber laid all the way to the
home/building/Floor) and with copper wires completing the connection. As fiber optic cables are able to carry much more data than copper cables, the traditional copper based networks are being replaced by fiber and thus paving the way for providing Gig interfaces for the subscribers.
