COMMUNICA TION NETWORK FOR TELEMEDICINE
Abstract
Telemedicine is the most prol111smg one for
improving the access to specialized health services
to all remote, rural areas in all developing
countries. Exploiting the technological
advancements in the .field of electronics, signal
processing and software a communication network
for telemedicine is proposedfor the existing twisted
pair based public .~witched public data network. To
expand the bandwidth capability of twisted pair
network to gain the near capability of optical fiber
based Broadband Integrated System Digital
Network BIS'DN), additional subsystems High-BitRate
Digital Subscriher Line (HDSL), Asymmetric
Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and the advanced
modulation techniques for bandwidth compression
are discussed. A complete communication network
for delivering telemedicine to all the developing
countries is presented.
