    This document discusses how to access the internet using a cable TV network. It explains that a cable modem connects a computer to the cable network, allowing two-way communication at speeds up to 27 Mbps downstream and 10 Mbps upstream. The cable modem attaches to the computer via Ethernet and converts signals to transmit over the coaxial cable infrastructure. Real-world performance may be slower depending on network traffic and limitations of other connections on the internet. Cable modems allow multiple computers to share an internet connection through a local area network.

    Introduction How to Access Internet using Cable TV Network Cable Modem Changes in Cable Network Connection Work Of Cable Modem Isolation of TV & PC How Fast is Cable Modem Real-World Performance Ethernet over Coaxial Adapter Advantages and Disadvantages Applications Conclusion

    INTRODUCTION
     Internet data can be transferred through Cable networks

    wired to the user computer.


     Accessing the Internet at 10 megabits per second.  A cable modem connects to a PC using the same coaxial

    cable that brings all channels to your television.


     India has a cable penetration of 80 million homes, offering

    a vast network for leveraging the internet access.

    How to access the Internet using the Cable Network ?


    o Use the dial-up telephone services provided by your Cable Company in conjunction with a modem or ISDN adapter. o To use a Cable modem.

    A "Cable Modem" is a device that allows high-speed access to the Internet via a cable TV (CATV) network. The cable modem attaches to computer through an Ethernet Network Interface Card. It takes a signal from the computer and converts it for transmission over the cable network

    Changes in the Cable Network


     The cable network was designed to deliver TV signals in

    one direction from the Head-End to the subscribers homes.


    To provide TV services Cable Operators had to recreate a

    portion of the over-the-air RF spectrum within a sealed coaxial cable line.


    Operators had to upgrade the cable network so that

    signals could flow in both directions.

    Cont.

    Cable Operators assign a spectrum of signal frequencies to the cable network.

    One spectrum is used for the signals that move from the

    Head-End towards the cable subscriber.


    Another spectrum of signal frequencies are used for the

    signals that move from the cable subscriber towards the Head-End.
    By replacing existing one way amplifiers with two way

    amplifiers Cable Operators are able to separate the upstream and downstream signals and amplify each direction separately in the right frequency range.

    How Cable Modem Work


     Your Cable Company supplies you with a connection to your home which in turn is connected to a splitter box.  One spur from the splitter box is connected to your TV through a TV Adapter, the other being connected to your Cable Modem, which in turn is connected to your computer through an Ethernet connection.  Cable modems can be part modem, part tuner, part encryption/decryption device, part bridge, part router, part NIC card and part Ethernet hub.

    Who Makes Cable Modems?


     3Com, Cisco Systems, Com21, General Instrument, Motorola, Nortel Networks, Phasecom, Samsung, Terayon, Toshiba, Zenith  And many others

    Splitter Box
    At the connecting point the feeding of the data into the TV cable network.

    The modem with an Ethernet interface.

    They will be connected by means of a splitter at the system outlet of the subscriber.

    The system uses the frequency range from 5 MHz until 30 MHz, which is not used from TV programs.

    How fast is a Cable Modem


     Cable modem speeds vary widely Depends on the cable modem system Cable network architecture Traffic load.

     In the downstream direction (from the network to the computer), network speeds can be up to 27 Mbps BUT, this is an aggregate amount of bandwidth that is shared by users.

     Few computers will be capable of connecting at such high speeds or have exclusive access to the network A more realistic number is 1 to 3 Mbps.

    Cont..

    How fast is a Cable Modem


     In the upstream direction (from computer to network), speeds can be up to 10 Mbps. However, most modem producers have selected a more optimum speed between 500 Kbps and 2.5 Mbps AND, many cable operators limit the upstream bandwidth to 128 or 384kbs  An asymmetric cable modem scheme is most common. The downstream channel has a much higher bandwidth allocation (faster data rate) than the upstream,  primarily because Internet applications tend to be asymmetric in nature.

    Cont..

    How fast is a Cable Modem


     Activities such as World Wide Web (http) navigating and newsgroups reading (nntp) send much more data down to the computer than to the network.  Mouse clicks (URL requests) and e-mail messages are not bandwidth intensive in the upstream direction.  Image files and streaming media (audio and video) are very bandwidth intensive in the downstream direction.

    RealReal-World Performance
     The theoretical performance of a Cable Modem is based upon all other devices being able to work at the same speed and performance as the Cable Modem.  However, in a similar way that the actual usable bandwidth on a 10Mbps Ethernet connection reduces to a 4Mbps, so the performance of a Cable Modem connection be reduced.  The Cable network itself will suffer the same problems of Internet performance as any other Internet Service Provider (ISP).

    Cont..

    RealReal-World Performance
     Although performance to services on the cable network itself can be amazingly fast, access to 'the outside world' will be slowed down by the performance of other connections on the way.

     As usage on your segment grows (as more customers are added) the bandwidth must be shared by more people.

    Support for Multiple PCs


     A cable modem can provide Internet access to multiple PCs, if they are connected via a local area network (LAN)  Cable modems typically have an Ethernet output, so they can connect to the LAN with a standard Ethernet hub or router  Each PC must have an assigned IP address The cable ISP usually sells at a premium of $5-$10 a month per PC NAT (Network Address Translation) can allow multiple PCs to "hide" behind a single IP Address

    Ethernet over Coaxial Adapter


    Ethernet Coaxial Adapter :-

    Ethernet over Coaxial Adapter


     The Ethernet over Coaxial adapter provides a simple and inexpensive way to create a reliable home network, without running CAT5 cables through your walls  It delivers high speed internet, voice and video over coaxial cable  Ideal for homes, apartment buildings or hotels seeking to add high-speed internet capabilities over existing coaxial TV cables

    Advantages
    High Availability High Bandwidth to Low Coast High Speed Data Access Always on Connectivity

    Limitation
    Cable connections are not available in every neighborhood, Because cable connections are Always on, one needs a firewall and activation of other security features so as to protect the computer

    Applications
     Connect set-top boxes, personal computers, game consoles, broadband modems etc. to your home network instantly.  Add high-speed internet, digital voice and video access to any room with a coaxial TV cable.  Ideal for homes, apartment buildings or hotels seeking to add high-speed.

    Conclusion
     Internet access via cable network with help of broadband technology has open a new realm of information access, storage, delivery of information.  The basic disadvantage of telephone line is while the internet being accessed, and the telephone bill, which is highly expensive.  Access via internet cable TV will offer very high speed without traffic jam and with less coast.
