Abstract :
This paper describes broadband communications, which has the ability to transmit data in the wide band of frequencies. It also supplies multiple channels of data in single communications platform using some form of wave or frequency division multiplexing. Nowadays cable broadband network plays a major role in the present life by connecting more people in times of crisis and thus it creates more jobs and boost the economy significantly. Distance learning applications are being used to teach students by online courses using broadband communication systems.
