Cable TV WANs use a distributed architecture that consists of several star-shaped centralized locations. The focal point in the star is the head-end, which is the central receiving point for signals from various sources, including satellite, other major cable sources, and local television sources. The head-end is a grouping of antennas, cable connections, microwave towers, satellite dishes, and it distills all incoming signal sources and transfers them to remote distribution centers through trunk line.
