520 _aA practical, accessible survey of telecommunications and data communications services and technologies Finally, there is a commonsense guide to telecommunications and data communications that non-engineers can understand. Popular author Ray Horak provides comprehensive, up-to-date information in plain English, instead of confusing technotalk. Recent developments covered include: . 802.16 and WiMAX . Passive Optical Network (PON) . 802.11g/n . Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) . Broadband over Power Line (BPL) . Instant Messaging . ZigBee In addition, Telecommunications and Data Communications Handbook expands on topics of increasing interest, including: . Fiber Optics . Storage Area Networks (SANs) . Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) . CATV Networks . Wireless, including Bluetooth . Cellular, including 2.5G and 3G, photos, video, and ring tones and ring-back tones . Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), including IP PBX and IP Centrex . Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) vs. H.323 Complete with a discussion of the current regulatory and business environments, including divestiture and revestiture as well as mergers and acquisitions, this is the ideal reference for non-engineering professionals in the end-user, carrier, content or service provider, manufacturing, regulatory, or financial communities.
