Broadband access technologies
1. access based on copper cable
2. access based on optical fiber
3. wireless access
Tashkent, Uzbekistan, 10-11 June

Broadband access technologies
1. access based on copper cable – one or
several copper pairs are used between
subscribers and operators. The best
example of this is the plain old telephone
system (POTS) where the customer is
physically connected to the operator by a
pair of twisted copper cable. Most popular
technologies are different types of DSL
such as ADSL, HDSL, SHDSL, VDSL etc.

Advantages & Disadvantages
• DSL simultaneously
keeps your Internet
connection and phone
lines open
• You can have higher
speeds than you would
have with a regular
modem (1,5 Mbps<)
• DSL uses the existing
wiring infrastructure of
your telephone lines
• DSL efficiency is related
to distance
• DSL needs two copper
pairs for developing
HDSL and G.SHDSL
technologies
• DSL is limited for
a certain perimeter

2. access based on optical fiber – this
type of access is one of the effective
method of access technologies, because
of its possibility to transfer dates to long
distances with VHS.
Tashkent, Uzbekistan, 10-11 June

Advantages & Disadvantages
• very high speed
• variety of services
simultaneously
• low prices of optical
fiber
• very high operating
costs
• difficulty of elimination
of defects
• Lack of specialists

Broadband access technologies
3. wireless access – subscribers and
operators are connected through radio
channels. Mobility is one of the significant
benefits of this technology. Widespread
wireless technologies such Wi-Fi and
Wi-MAX are more used nowadays.
Tashkent, Uzbekistan, 10-11 June

25
Advantages & Disadvantages
• mobility of
subscribers
• limited spectrum of
used frequency
• simplicity of network
operating
• network security is
lower than fixed
networks
• more convenient for
business
• limited number of
users in one access
point

Importance of broadband access
for Uzbekistan
• one of the basic factors in building of
e- Government
• development of distance working and
education
• implementation of modern ICT services
• improvement of productivity
• making contribution to development of
telecommunication infrastructures
