In-home Video Distribution for Telecom Operators

摘要

We have investigated the various alternatives for in-home video distribution that might be applicable between now and 2010. Among these are wireless and so-called no-new-wires architectures, but also unconventional approaches based on analogue distribution. The latter actually led to a surprisingly attractive and realistic solution. Thereupon we have developed an innovative demonstrator, which is basically a centralised video gateway equipped with analogue modulators that can be connected to the existing in-home coaxial cabling.
