We learn how airplane fuselages are made, for instance, and how to splice coaxial cable together.
Its listed subsidiary Globo Cabo, Brazil's largest cable TV provider, has laid 15, 000 miles of coaxial cable past almost 5 million homes.
The wiring is typically either category 5 Ethernet cabling or coaxial cable like that used for cable TV, or some combination of both, with other technologies mixed in.
In the beginning, they put antennas on hilltops, then strung coaxial cable lines down to homes in the valley where most people, blocked by topography, had trouble receiving broadcast signals.

But on Jan. 11 of that year, television in America turned a technological corner when eight stations on the East Coast and seven Midwestern stations were linked via the first long-distance coaxial cable.

Cable, for example, is considering technologies extending the reach of its coaxial cable networks above the current 1 GHz threshold, and Verizon has demonstrated 1 gigabit and 10 gigabit capability on its existing FiOS network.
The coaxial cable used to carry television has the potential to carry large amounts of data, and already reaches into millions of homes, so cable operators can push new services down the wires relatively cheaply and easily.
Even as it now loses customers when it doesn't produce results, Adelphia, like all cable companies, is finding that to offer new services it must replace more coaxial cable than expected with bigger and cleaner fiber lines to serve as the trunk of its networks.
TD-LTE is the 4G standard developed for use across China, and it is now being adopted by operators across the globe. lightRadio Metro Radio houses two lightRadio cubes, fully integrated with a directional antennae, allowing it to provide the coverage normally associated with a much bulkier, heavier remote radio unit linked to an external antenna via an RF coaxial cable.

Whether it's phone wire used for dial-up and digital subscriber lines (DSL), or the coaxial cables that carry cable modem connections, these connections are a bottleneck between the carrier's big pipes and your bandwidth-starved computer.
In an analog system, all cameras need to be wired directly back to a central recording system using analog cable (typically RG-59 or RG-6 coaxial).
