Title :
HFC networks; technical and business consequences of the variations
Abstract :
HFC (hybrid fiber coaxial) networks is a "catch all" phrase that designates a coaxial distribution network bus augmented by fiber optic communications technology. Not all HFC networks are created equal, however. Very different technical and operational characteristics can be derived by examining your business assumptions.
