Introduction strategies for ATM broadband networks in a European context

摘要

The aim of the European Community's RACE programme has been the introduction of integrated broadband communication services throughout the Community by 1995. Project R1022 is tasked with demonstrating the feasibility of a broadband network based on the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). The authors consider the alternative ways of introducing ATM broadband networks into the existing European communications structure in a cost-effective manner which offers advantages to network operators and end users.
