title: Hybrid fiber coax networks: a viable option for telemedicine.
abstract: Cable companies have improved their networks to the degree that they are viable alternatives to currently deployed networks. A detailed look at these cable networks shows them to be superior in bandwidth (capacity), speed, flexibility, and ubiquity. The services that can be provided by these networks are ideal to numerous advanced applications, including telemedicine.
