Contents:
Signals convey intelligence -- Quality of service and telecommunication impairments -- Transmission and switching : cornerstones of a network -- Transmission aspects of voice telephony -- Digital networks -- Signaling -- Local and long-distance networks -- Concepts in transmission transport -- Data communications -- Enterprise networks 1 : local area networks -- Enterprise networks 2 : wide area networks -- Metropolitan area networks -- CCITT Signaling System No. 7 -- Voice-over packets in a packet network -- Television transmission -- Community antenna television (cable television) -- Cellular and PCS radio systems -- Advanced broadband digital transport formats -- Asynchronous transfer mode -- Network management.
Summary: The Second Edition of this critically-acclaimed text continues the standard of excellence set in the first edition by providing a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of telecommunication networks without bogging you down in complex technical jargon or math. Although focusing on the basics, the book has been thoroughly updated with the latest advances in the field, including a new chapter on metropolitan area networks (MANs) and new sections on Mobile Fi, ZigBee and ultrawideband. You'll learn which choices are now available to an organization, how to evaluate them and how to develop strategies that achieve the best balance among cost, security and performance factors for voice, data, and image communication. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
