Networks and Telecommunications: Design and Operation

From the Publisher: The core sections deal with the fundamentals of telecoms networks, running and setting up networks, and running a business based on telecommunications have all been significantly updated. The expanding emerging technologies section places an emphasis on SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) and SONET (Synchronous Optical Network), ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), B-ISDN (Broadland Integrated Services Digital Network) (and associated broadland and multimedia services: video conferencing, video on demand, etc.), and the Telecommunications Management Network. Two new major sections on modern voice networks and modern data networks are also included. These address state-of-the-art technologies from intelligent networks, signalling system 7 and mobile networks to packet switching, frame relay and email.
