This book explains why and how different types of premises distribution systems are used to provide audio, data and video media distribution throughout a home or business. You will learn the basic needs for audio, data and video distribution and how existing or new wireless and wired systems in a home can be used to control and deliver media.
Discover how media signals can be converted to a common packet digital format (data) so they can be transferred over premises data networks is described along with the different types of premises data transmission including telephone line, power line wireless and coaxial lines and data lines.
Learn how premises networks have evolved from basic data services for Internet to guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) for telephone and television services. Discover the different types of access control systems used in home networks including random data access and reserved media control and how the different types of access control methods can share the same type of system.
Home networking systems use key technologies to provide for reliable high-speed data transmission including adaptive modulation, echo control, synchronized transmission, interference avoidance, power level control and channel bonding.
Covered are the industry standards available for premises distribution systems along with their key features and capabilities. The key types of home networks are described which include HomePNA, HomePlug, DHS, HD-PLC, MOCA, TVNet, 802.11 and Wireless LAN. How these systems allow devices and other systems to co-exist with each other.
