Introduction To Telecoms

Product Description

Overview

Tremendous advances have been made in telecommunication services, technology & networks in recent years & when these advances are added to the convergence between telecommunications, the Internet & entertainment services, a very complex landscape is created.

We have brought together the vital components of modern telecommunications into one class that provides the ideal primer for this diverse range of topics. As well as focussing on the major telecommunications technologies, the class looks in detail at services & also has a section on the current state of the telecoms marketplace, which offers a range of statistics & case studies. Subsequent sections provide an overview of fixed & mobile access networks. The types of data services currently available are then considered, which is followed by a look at Internet operation & the growing role of Voice over IP (Vo IP). The class continues with a look at the principal technologies & protocols such as Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) & Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), & closes with an overview of trends in telecommunications, identifying emerging & future technologies.
