Abstract

This paper describes a laboratory demonstrator for the access network which studies Service-on-Demand to the customer. Its transmission is based on ATM and it provides bandwidth-on-demand for multimedia data for the user. Three different platforms for the access network are studied: an HFC solution with 38 Mbit/s per 8-MHz-channel for the CATV network, an HFR solution with 38 Mbit/s per 39-MHz channel for MMDS radio access and an ADSL solution with 6 Mbit/s for the telephone network. The return channel (upstream) uses the same transmission medium as the downstream for the “last mile∝.
