Preface
About This Book
Fiber optic engineers just love to design transmission systems for digital data transport. With data rates ever increasing, today engineers seriously contemplate the leap of transmission rates from 10 Gb/s to 40 Gb/s. Three to five years down the road, they may push for 160 Gb/s. Data transmission better utilizes fiber's capabilities, simplifying transport, switching, and other forms of manipulation, doesn't it? Well, yes and no. Digitized video and audio signal transport has three important considerations.
First, good quality digitized video and audio signals can generate a lot of data per second — enough to swamp even relatively high speed data networks. Second, video and audio often require real time delivery. Real ...
