Everything you always wanted to know in (1999)

Well, maybe not everything. Technology is broad and ever-changing. However, this book is packed with juicy tidbits about all kinds of broadband communications. I already know a lot of this information. However, there are two distinct advantages to this book. One is to tell you what you know from a different point of view; this helps round out the concepts in one's head. The second advantage is that the book starts from ground zero, allowing non-technical people the ability to communicate and make educated decisions about communications. After this overview book, you can go into more depth with the manuals for the product. However, you will find yourself coming back to this book to affirm the concepts. You can use this book like a dictionary of terms or an encyclopedia. Some of the highlights: Introduction to Telecommunications Telecommunications Systems Virtual Private Networks Data Virtual Private Networks Advanced Intelligent Networks Local Number Portability Computer Telephony Integration Signaling System 7 CTI Technologies and Applications Integrated Service and Digital Network Frame Relay Asynchronous Transfer Mode ATM and Frame Relay Internetworking Cable TV Systems Cable Modem Systems and Technology xDSL MMDS and LMDS Specialized Mobile Radio Cellular Communications Global Service Mobile Communications Personal Communications Services Wireless Data Communications General Packet Radio Service Third-Generation (3G) Wireless System Satellite Communications Networking Low-Earth-Orbit Satellites The T Carrier Systems (T-1, T-2, and T-3) Synchronous Optical Network Synchronous Digital Hierarchy Wave Division Multiplexing The Internet Network Management SNMP An added plus is instead of a monster Bibliography, you can contact the Author, “Regis J.
