Last Mile
 |
The Last Mile is the final leg of delivering connectivity for a communications provider to a customer. In many communities, last-mile technology represents a major remaining challenge to high-bandwidth applications such as on-demand television, fast Internet access, and Web pages full of multimedia effects.
Last-mile technologies to deliver voice, data, and TV can include:
- ISDN, a somewhat faster technology than regular phone service
- Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) over existing telephone twisted pair lines
- Cable and the cable modem for data, using the same installed coaxial cable that already is used for television
- wireless, including services such as DirecTV
- optical fiber and its transmission technologies
PDCC enhances the business environment for companies involved in telecommunications, broadband, mobile wireless, information technology, networks, cable, satellite, unified communications, emergency communications and the greening of technology through its standards development, engineering intelligence and able workforce. We aim to provide world-class products and services for the global information and communications technology industries.
