Abstract

Cilj ovoga rada je pružiti pregled različitih vrsti širokopojasnih pristupnih mreža i podržanih suvremenih usluga, uključujući IP TV i Over the Top Content usluge. Uvođenjem širokopojasnih pristupnih mreža, postižu se veći propusni kapaciteti odnosno brzine prijenosa podataka što operatorima omogućuje pružanje kvalitetnije usluge korisnicima. Na početcima ovog tipa pristupnih mreža koristili su se isključivo žičani mediji ali unaprjeđivanjem tehnologije dolazi do bežičnih oblika pristupne mreže u cilju zadovoljavanja potrebe tržišta. Trenutno stanje na tržištu ide u korist žičanih mreža ali zbog ubrzanog razvoja bežičnih tehnologija dolazi do izjednačavanja prijenosnih karakteristika ova dva oblika pristupnih mreža. Budući da je operatorima bežični oblik komunikacije puno povoljniji po pitanju same infrastrukture, za očekivati je njihovu dominaciju u budućnosti.

Abstract (english)

The aim of present paper is to provide an overview of different types of broadband access networks and supported modern services, including IP TV and Over the Top Content. During initial stage of broadband access networks, it was possible to achieve significantly higher throughput. As a result data transfer speed were higher, thus enabling higher service quality to users. Additionally, only wired medium was used. However, with the continuous advancement of technology, wireless access networks were introduced gradually. Consequently, prevailing types of access networks on the market nowadays are both wired-based and wireless-based. It can be expected that wireless communication will further dominate the market in the future, primarily because of its cost-effectiveness for operators in certain aspects, such as infrastructure.
