Review of A. Grinberg: Seamless Networks

A carefully written overview of the main concepts of telephony networks (including mobile ones) and of how to design 'seamless' networks, i.e. networks that allow users to navigate among them without seeing service differences.Areas covered are: Intelligent Networks, Wireless Intelligent Networks, GSM networks, Universal Personal Telecommunications, connection of networks, convergence of network architectures, network access issues, network management. Several standards are explained carefully.The emphasis is on concepts, and these are introduced didactically step-by-step, with many simple but informative figures. This is a book of lasting value in an area where we are swamped by books that insist on technical details that have a brief life.The book is ideal as a textbook for undergraduate or graduate courses in telephony networks, and in fact this is how I am using it now. I am not aware of any other book that covers this area with such nice explanations and conceptual insight.I hear that the book is now out-of-print, but I hope that the publisher can be convinced to keep it in its catalogue, possibly with some updates by the author.
