Customer Reviews

Believe it or not, a real page-turner!

No kidding. Michael Adams has taken very complex technical subject matter and crystallized it in a conversational, easy-to-read manner, injecting personality and humor to make the text thoroughly enjoyable. Very refreshing approach to material that is usually inaccessable to non-engineers. Highly recommended for anyone in the broadband networking arena. Calculus is not a prerequisite!

Excellent source of information on OpenCable architecture

The opencable industry has great promise and potential. In its early formative stage, various industry participants (hardware and software developers, service providers, cable MSO engineers, etc.) really need and will benefit greatly from this book. Michael Adams has done a great job of pulling together various information pieces in a coherent framework in an understandable and easy to read manner: history, rationale, process, market and technical details of the OpenCable architecture; current status and future direction. I recommend this book highly. Satish Thatte, Director, Product Management & Standards LG Electronics Research Center of America Princeton Junction, NJ

OpenCable Overview

Although I have been reading a lot of OpenCable documents, there was a wish to have a book that gave the overview and connected the pieces together. That book has now arrived. I can recommend it to all that like to have more knowledge on digital cable and the overview of opencable.

Opencable thoroughly explained

Although I have been reading a lot of documents related to OpenCable, I was looking forward to a comprising work, where all was coming together. That book is now available. The good structure and well managed balance between the bigger picture and the details makes this is a very interesting book for a wide audience in the North American cable community.

The digital revolution is coming down your cable

This book explores in depth the question "what is digital cable?" That's a complex subject, but this book in its 18 chapters does a great job at fully covering the territory. If you are a software application developer, a network administrator, a business development manager, or just a curious engineer, I think you will find this book to be a useful resource. If you need a higher-level overview, you can find that here. If you want to dive further into the technical details of the underlying standards, the author provides a wealth of references to help you find them.
