Customer Reviews

Good Book, But Behind the Times

This is an excellent introduction to the basics of telecommunications but is somewhat out of date in covering the newer technologies such as DSL. It is more suited towards the introductory or towards someone who is involved with aquiring telecom products and services instead of someone who is in the telecom industry.

Great Read, Telecom for Dummies!!!!!!

This is probably the easiest Telecom book I have gotten my hands on. It is coincise and easy to follow. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about what Telecom is and the infrastructure involved.

Great Book

This is a great book for getting up to speed on Telecommunications. I also understand that a new version will be coming out later this year.

Easy to understand. Pertinent information.

I am new to the world of telecommunications, and I found it extremely helpful and informative. The acronymns they use are ones you see in every day telecommunications, and they explain things without going into too much mathimatical jargon (I don't do math). If you only want to purchase one book for reference, I would highly recommend this one.
