Abstract

The broadcasting communications service will accelerate its development with the convergence of broadcasting media and internet service. In the field of CATV network related technology, only those service providers will be able to survive in future, and they can combine available services in the most effective and economical way. This research aims to explain the CATV status of Korea and China and its technology trends. It also analyzes CMC(Cable Modem Concentrator) technology, suggested as one of the high-speed internet technology. CMC technology has the advantages of enhancing the transmission speed while using the existing basic structure of HFC network and expanding service area by adding amplifiers within CMC. The distance between coaxial cables is getting shorter with more concentrated areas in large cities in Korea. However, in China, the demand for long distance transmission service is increasing. CMC technology satisfies both short and long distance service subscribers without any geographical limitations. With these advantages, CMC technology is expected to generate lots of economic benefits if applied for the CATV network in the area of China, Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

향후 CATV 망 관련 기술은 방송미디어와 인터넷 서비스를 결합한 방송통신 융복합 서비스가 가속화됨에 따라 이들의 서비스를 가장 경제적이고, 효율적으로 결합하는 사업자만이 시장에 남게 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 한국과 중국의 CATV 현황과 기술동향을 파악하고 본 논문에서 제안된 초고속 인터넷 기술인 CMC(Cable Modem Concentrator) 기술을 분석하였다. 이 기술은 기존의 HFC망의 기본 구조를 그대로 사용면서 통신 속도를 보다 높일 수 있고, CMC 내에 증폭기를 추가함으로써 서비스 지역을 확대할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 한국의 경우 대도시 밀집지역이 많아 동축케이블 구간의 거리가 점점 짧아지고 있으나, 중국과 같은 대륙은 장거리 전송 서비스에 대한 부담이 적지 않다. 본 기술은 장거리는 물론 중, 단거리 가입자에게도 적합한 기술로서 어떠한 지리적 제한도 받지 않고 사용 가능할 수 있기 때문에, 본 기술을 중국이나 중동, 동남 아시아 지역의 CATV 망에 적용한다면 경제적 이득이 클 것으로 예상된다.
