I am looking for calculations schemes, formulas, trics and hints for developping a broadband network for data, video, and other communicatons Who can send me the basic things about this issue, (attenuation, amplifiers, splitters, cables and connectors). What about the special modems, which vendor and/or manufacturer. What are the experiences with these networks? ron -- Ron Werther | analog radio: PA3DSO Technical Support Group | digital radio: 44.137.44.2 Intergraph EHQ Nijmegen | UUCP: ..!uunet!ingr!nijmeg!ron The Netherlands | phone: +3180525664

Broadband network installation is definitely *not* for amateurs. You simply must hire an expert to design, install, and certify your network. You should work closely with your LAN vendor on developing the design and specs. I can tell you that designing a broadband cable plant for LANs is not the same as designing a broadband cable plant for TV. TV system designers design for minimum cost and consequently achieve minimum flexibility for change. A LAN cable plant should be designed for maximum flexibility for change and not be concerned with minimum parts count. If you want video, broadband is the way to go. If you only want data, then consider fiber optics. You should still seek expert help with fiber designs, but it is much easier to design, install, and maintain than fiber. Within a few years, fiber will be preferred over broadband for video and data. Kent England, Boston University
