Michael S. Peluso North Carolina A&T State Univerisity
Mike Peluso has been involved in high technology management and support for the better part of two decades. Peluso started his career with an associate's degree in radio/television and followed that with a B.A. in communications from the University of Central Florida. He was immediately recruited as a National Account Rep. for Transpo, Inc., an Orlando-based electronics manufacturer. In 1995, Peluso relocated to North Carolina, where he managed a team of a dozen reps selling and training on vertical market software. Peluso’s expertise in WAN communications networks began in 1998 for Rep Com International, where he managed an area covering 16 states. In 2009, Peluso entered the North Carolina A&T State University master's in information technology program. Peluso believes that it’s critically important to maintain the deepest possible understanding of the core technologies underpinning today's communication networks. This understanding will help drive the maximum benefits into the world's communication resources.
Abstract
Telecommunication Cable Types as it relates to Reliability and Effectiveness in WAN Networks including Twisted Pair, Coaxial and Fiber Optic Cable The most basic building block of the Telecommunications industry is the cabling systems thatmake up the wired networks. Over the years we have seen tremendous change in the reliabilityand effectiveness of this core technical component of the network. This paper will provide areview of the history and uses of the primary types of cabling that are currently in broaddeployment in our networks. It will examine how different cabling types can be effectivelyused in WAN Telecommunications Networks. Exploring the effectiveness of provisioning ofcable designed for single service applications transitioned to multi-service broadband networks,also review the current economic models relating to cable deployments. Finally predictions willbe made on the future of WAN deployments.
